About The British film In the Loop is a satire exploring how American and British politicians sold the Iraq invasion to the public

My 5 cents A primarily British film making fun of both governments with very colorful language and TV stars of both nations...doesn't exactly equate to box office gold. Nice to see Chlumsky with work however these satires are a hard sell especially as British humour does get lost on Americans and the array of late shows have milked these types of topics for the past few years. Believe the US public is looking forward not back. Comparisons are Wag the Dog, Primary Colors and Fahrenheit 9/11.

Recommendation SHORT
