A great movie

At some point I bought the DVD for this film but, for some reasons, I gave it to a good friend of mine at the time who obviously didn't care at all for this movie (In fact, after all these years, I'm pretty sure he never have watched the damned thing) and I really now regret this decision which seemed to be a good idea at the time. Anyway, since I heard many good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out but, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be so good. Indeed, it was the most hilarious movie I had seen in years. In fact, I'm usually really critical about comedies but this one was just a real riot, especially the first 30 minutes. There were some familiar faces (Tom Hollander, James Gandolfini, Steve Coogan) and some people I had never seen before (Peter Capaldi, Chris Addison, Mimi Kennedy) but they were all great, especially Peter Capaldi. Usually, comedies go for the cheap jokes but, here, it was the opposite, it was very smart, very witty and so funny. Furthermore, I'm a huge fan of movies dealing with politics and it must be the best political satire I have ever seen. Basically, according to the makers, politics have nowaydays not much to do with ideologies anymore but it is all about communications, strategies and allegiances. So, the whole thing was just hilarious, very interesting to watch and it is absolutely and definitely worth a look, especially if you like some good old British sense of humor.
