This cinematic feature length version of British television series The Thick Of It turns out to be an absolutely brilliant political satire. Relevant, farcical and most of all painfully hilarious, the film boasts some great characters from the foul-mouthed tirades of Peter Capaldi right through to the awkward Chris Addison. Clever, biting and bonkers

I don't know what makes me like this movie more, "Fuckity Bye" or "Difficult difficult lemon difficult,"

Truly the best screenplay of 2009. Full of one liners and four letter words, which really brought out the flaws of politics.

A laugh-out-loud funny political comedy, this exercise in brilliant writing and timing features a top-notch cast in perfect form. Peter Capaldi steals the film but the entire cast is fantastic. From its quiet beginnings it builds to a wildly funny examination of the games of gossip and career assassinations within the world of politics. Easily one of the best of 2010 and one of the best comedies of the decade.

"Difficult, difficult, lemon difficult" - I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe for a few seconds there.

this film is hilarious, the performances are witty and so full of one liners. the plot is pretty good too, and always throws a left hook here and there. the one minor complaint is that technically for a film sometimes it does lack something. the script more than makes up for it. and for a big fan of the tv show this more than delivers adapting from small to large screen effectively. plus gina mckee.

Like a freakin' firecracker in the dark of night. Hallelujah for British humour. Highly recommended.

What would happen if this was the first shown in a double feature with "No End In Sight"?

Not nearly as good as the series upon which it is loosely based (The Thick of It), probably because of its desire to appeal to an American audience. Peter Capaldi is brilliant, but relegated to a minor role and is constrained in his vitriol. The film is worth watching for its comparison between British and American politics, but it could have been improved by a more liberal application of the word “cunt”.

Biting satire about the people working for government, the clueless, the clumsy, the resourceful, the ass kisser, the hateful, they're all here with their cards on the table trying to decide whether or not their country should go to war just for the sake of it. Peter Capaldi's colourful way of adressing everyone and his derogatory nicknames taken from movies are a riot.
