Movie #192 "In the Loop" is a very intelligent script. So much so, I missed some of the jokes.........and I was reading subtitles so I wouldn't miss anything. If you enjoy political humor, you'll find a lot here. The screenplay was nominated for an academy award, and for a "no-name" film to be nominated, I knew it would have to be good, and I wasn't disappointed. But it's not for everyone. I think I need to see it more than once to get its full effect. Although I enjoyed "Wag the Dog" more, this rivals it in many ways. But those Brits speak sooo quickly. And filthily. One guy's vocabulary includes only f-bombs. Colorful, huh?
