In the Loop perfectly satirizes the mindset of both American and British politicians during a time of war. It's hilarious, thought-provoking, and will make you want to constantly quote Malcolm Tucker's vulgar yet creative insults. The supporting cast is great, as most of them are in constant fear of Peter Capaldi's character, Tucker. On the whole, this film is highly entertaining and is one of the best political satires of I've ever seen.

This is a hilarious movie that perfectly pokes fun at politics and, especially, the buildup to the Iraq War following 9/11. The film is full of great jokes and one-liners that you'll be crying from laughter. The cast is perfect in their respective roles. Peter Capaldi is perfect as the vulgar spewing politician, saying some of the best jokes in the film. Tom Hollander was also excellent as the idiotic Simon Foster, creating some of the best laughs in the film. This was a sharp satire that perfectly poked fun at politicians and the events leading to the Iraq War.
