No spoilers… Just some pre-movie thoughts.

Oh god yes, this is one of my favorites! I've actually just rewatched the whole related TV series "The Thick of It". The swearing is off the charts. Nothing brings me inner peace more than some of Malcolm Tucker's bollocking rants, though I won't spoil anything before people get a chance to see it :)

What I think is interesting about this kind of movie is that the British don't mind portraying their leaders as incompetent buffoons. They have a long history of it (see also "Yes, Minister", "Blackadder", Monty Python, etc.) But I don't really see much of that in America. Americans take politics very seriously and don't seem to ridicule their politicians the same way the British do. The best political comedy in America is "Veep", and that's made by the British (in fact the same guy as "The Thick of It"). The only other one I can even think of is "That's My Bush!", which was pretty weak. Maybe someone can point me in the direction of some good American political satire that I've missed?
