"In the Loop" is a British political satire poking fun at how the Americans used the British as puppets when making the decision to invade a certain Middle Eastern country. While there were some witty moments, I found the movie to be somewhat depressing just because of how much of the political satire matched reality. One of the funniest recurring themes throughout the film was the foul-mouthed Scottish politician dealing with the straight-laced bumbling English politician. There was lots of misinformation and many politicians switched opinions throughout the movie. Overall, I give it 3 out of 5 stars, because it did have funny moments and it was a movie that needed to be made. However, I wish it had been more fiction than reality. If you want a real biting satire, I recommend watching "Wag the Dog."
