Preview: In the Loop (2009)

Synopsis:

The United States and the United Kingdom spar over trying to get their countries into war in this comedic farce.

• Poster: C+

Review:

I can see and understand why this poster ties into the muddied, comic plot of the film, but the colors aren't terribly interesting and the overall layout is too blocky.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

Slow moving at the start, the humor picks up pace in the last two-thirds, making this seem like a dry, witty dialogue on relations across the pond.

Oscar Prospects:

Doubtful this will make a splash at the Oscars.

Release Date:

• July 24, 2009

Full Review Synopsis:

If you enjoy back-hall political wrangling mixed with British humor, you'll have a heck of a time.
