    Smart and Tight Political Commentary on our Times

    by Powerhugs

    I loved this movie...All of those who hated it just didn't get it I suppose.You really had to listen to the dialogue in this film and every other line was another witticism...Sure its an anti-war film and some might even feel its an anti-american film...But I was struck to see the British viewpoint on how their politicial system works and how they view their own relationship to the US....If you keep an open mind I dont see how you cant find this movie delightful.

    I honestly am shocked and appalled at the sheer number of negative reviews for this brilliant, gut-wrenchingly funny, tight political comedy.

    In the Loop..out of the loop without subtitles

    by tasgalmovies

    Very entertaining, though at times plodding. Not much of a plot, premis got lost.

    Subtitles would help only because some english slang needs explaining.

    Funny but vulgar, which was a big part of the humor.
