It's about time such an intelligent and hilarious writer such as Iannucci took on the silver screen (Chris Morris' effort is just around the corner). In the Loop is a very observant and hysterical look at the world of politics. Like all great comedies the lunacy is amplified by the (probable) basis in fact. Exaggerated, but not past the realms of belief. Capaldi and Hollander steal the show as a modern day double act that mostly work separate. The shouty, aggressive and the vacant, confused are an endearing team to watch. Insults, embarrassing situations, perfectly placed swearwords and ridiculous references make this a quotable, witty and ingenious treat.
