The BF and I went to see "In the Loop" last night. It is a fast-paced British political satire set during the Tony Blair administration that had me alternately cringing from the awkwardness of some of the interactions between the main characters (this is intentional -- the same sort of cringing as when I watch The Office) and laughing out loud at the stinging dialogue.
Here is salon.com's review. I really hope this movie does well. I'm not sure if American audiences will get it, mostly because some people won't be able to understand what is being said. There are some heavy Scottish accents, and the dialog really is quite fast. I was ok with it, but I think it's because I lived in London for a while. It may need subtitles (a la Trainspotting) for it to really take off. Oh, and if you don't like profanity, then this movie is not for you. You've been warned...
