In the Loop - Modern Comic Classic  
| The wittiest, sharpest, funniest movie of the year is also one of the least viewed by the general audience. Find a way to watch this film; it easily has the best screenplay of the year.
When a minister in the British parliament has a slip of the tongue on a radio show, he says that “War is unforeseeable” and from there we are taken from England to the U.S. as all sides of the political forum try to either silence or take advantage of the minister.
film contains one of the better ensemble casts of the year, but special mention must be given to Peter Capaldi as Britain’s Director of Communication whose foul mouth and fast tongue gives the film its funniest one liners. Seeing the behind the scenes of politicians and how they use each other and go round in circles was truly entertaining.
Described as a mix of Spinal Tap, The West Wing and Dr. Strangelove, In the Loop is a modern comic classic and one of the best political satires of the decade.
