Just saw this movie today and thought it was very very good. I think its a BBC /National Lottery funded movie but found it to be very funny.

Although quite exaggerated I really liked the story line and the satire in it had some real laugh out loud moments and some cracking one liners.

A movie that I would highly recommend and just wish the British film industry would make more movies like this.

James Gandolfini aka Tony Sopprano also stars in it.

Anyone else seen it?

If you enjoyed it you will probably enjoy the series The Thick of It. Many of the characters in In the Loop are from The Thick of It.

Loved it

nice language use of language.

for example

"Within your 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some fking regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some fking Jane fking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your stter with a lubricated horse cock!"

yes The Thick of It is similarly excellent.

If you like massive swearing it's tremendous.

loved the film very funny..Always been a fan of Armando Iannucci since the day today and brass eye..(pedogedin)

I didn't even know this came out till a mate lent me a copy...

When I watched this I had the Iraq war in my head and it all seems to make sense now.

If you like this watch the thick of it...

Just got round to watching it today after it was on the Beeb a few weeks ago. Really enjoyed it (big fan of the Thick of It) - that bit where Steve Coogan rings them up while they were in the UN really made me laugh.

Funny film.

Armando's TV series is good, but seemed to sink without trace compared to Thick of It and Brass Eye?

Tourist: Hey, buddy? Enough with the curse words, all right?
Malcolm Tucker: Kiss my sweaty balls, you fat fk.

Loved it, loved it. Armando Iannucci is a genius.

Simon Foster: Tobes, I don't want to have to read you the riot act but I am going to have to read you some extracts from the riot act, like section one, paragraph one: don't leave your boss twisting in the wind and then burst in late, smelling like a pissed seaside donkey.
Toby Wright: Look, alright, I was late for the meeting, Simon, I am sorry, but it's not like I threw up in there, is it?
Simon Foster: No, you're right, I'm being unfair. I should be thanking you for not throwing up. Well done, you're a star. You didn't wet yourself, did you? You're in the right city. You didn't say anything overtly racist. You didn't pull your cock out and start plucking it and shouting "Willy Banjo". No, I'm being really unfair. You'd got so much right, without actually being there in the beginning of one of the most important moments of my career. Thanks, you're a legend.

Great film, Malcolm Tucker is the greatest swearer of all time. My two fave examples from The Thick Of It are "Come the fk in or fk the fk off" and "I'm really sorry, you won't hear any more swearing from us, YOU MASSIVE GAY stE! fk off! ".

As rare as the DVD of "People Like Us" with Chris Langham, ex-popular comedy actor.
