FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

In The Loop


Rating:2
Run time: 1:45
Starring Tom Hollander, Peter Capaldi, and James Gandolfini
Genre: Mature Audience and Comedy

Entertainment Weekly reviewed this one a few weeks ago with an A-. It is billed as a political satire, set ub London and Washington. It centers on the diplomatic flap created by a British minister's careless comment about war and peace. I had high hopes that this would be a good comedy. It wasn't. Actually, we left two thirds of the way through it. It seemed incoherent and the satire was too heavy-handed for me.
