Review of In the Loop

In the Loop (2009)
Funny, but just
6 July 2009
Before watching "In the Loop", I didn't check, what genre this was, what actors were in it or what did the title mean. I understood everything while watching. I like British films, and I have seen quite a few good funny comedies in the past.

At first, I wanted to understand, what was the plot about, so I didn't find anything funny. Rushing around, shouting, creating noise looked awkwardly normal to me. Office work, tension, I didn't think that the film was about politics until I saw Malcolm cursing at the telly over and over.

Cursing was a big part of this film. You can learn some interesting words, but one starting with f bored me and was not funny at all.

I enjoyed the acting. It was interesting to see how some of the characters there constantly pushed by others, and then they reacted so realistically! Main idea of the film could have been developed more, since more attention was given to little jokes than to the development of the idea. It was a satirical film, but at some points it tried to be too much comic. That were both interesting dialogs and laughs. Watch it and think!
