Imagine “The Office” in political shape, if you will; the highest political level in Great Britain – bar the corporations. the lobbyists and Rupert Murdoch – where the Prime Minister is surrounded by people trying to help and scorn him at the same time, mostly the latter. The film involves the British politicals trying to avoid or reach war together with their American counter-parts, during this quick-paced and extremely funny film. My comparison with “The Office” extends to it using very embarrassing and highly painful moments, e.g. mistakes being endured through silence and anger, somebody behaving in a way that is embarrassing to all except him/her, et.c. The film seems based on “”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459159">The Thick of It", a TV-series with the same people, except for the Americans, where James Gandolfini makes an appearence. But really, Peter Capaldi steals the film through his Malcolm Tucker, the angriest witty man in the world. A firm recommendation to all lovers of quick thinking, pop-culture references and anti-heroes.

An excellent film… Has the absurdity of the political world and its participants down to a T :)
