Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
The chattering smarty-pants who ran the U.S. government on "The West Wing" are slow talkers compared with the motormouthed and hilariously imperfect power elite in the brainy British comedy In the Loop.

|
The A.V. Club -
In The Loop floats above its chaotic world on wave after wave of beautifully profane dialogue.
|
|
Variety -
Intelligent political satire this expertly acted is nothing to sneeze at.
|
|
Village Voice -
Not to detract from the pleasure of watching the consistently excellent actors, who enhance the dialogue's bite with their body language, but the script of In the Loop is so rich that it could work as a radio play.

L.A. Weekly -
Zooming back and forth between London and D.C., In the Loop hasn't any real plot -- it plays like a rather brilliant Brit-com stretched over 100 minutes, a collection of anecdotes and incidents.
