Political satire. When British Secretary of State for International Development Simon Foster accidentally backs military action on TV, he suddenly has a lot of friends in Washington DC. If Simon and his entourage of one can get in with the right DC people, and if they can stop the PM's chief spin doctor Malcolm Tucker rigging the vote at the UN, then maybe they can halt the war.

And he was such a nice boy in local hero.

Awful? Fricking brilliant me and the wife thought. Very funny indeed.

saw it last week with an american couple of friends we all thought it great reminded me of YES PRIME MINISTER

Are you serious? It's a great film imo – very funny and insightful at the same time. The swearing is fantastic too. 🙂

Er, have you not seen The Thick of It, the BBC series from which the film (and most the of the characters – though I never got used to Olly becoming Toby) is derived?

Watch that. Yes Minister for our times.

In the Loop is good, but it never translated as well to feature film as the shorter episodes of The Thick of It.

The work of unbridled genius!! Elevates swearing to an artform.

If you haven't watched the thick of it, then buy them on DVD now. Malcolm Tucker is possibly the best TV character ever to grace a screen

My personal favourite outburst

NOT work safe! 🙂

Hehe – some more good Malcolm Tucker swearing here

Very funny – loved it. Fave phrase [shouted]:
'Calm down? I'm f****ing Zen, me' 😆
