In the Loop (2009)

It's question of an invasion of a Middle East country. A British government minister makes some ambiguous statements, which arouse his superior's rage. They all go to Washington to find more about a secret war committee. Said minister brings his new young assistant with him. They both get in a lot of trouble.

British sitcom-style humor (later I found out that it is indeed a spinoff of an existing sitcom). It is reasonably well-made, mostly thanks to the competent acting. The lines of dialogue are filled with mediatic references, and are perhaps more incisively satirical than what is being made in America these days (but I am not keeping up with stuff, so you should probably disregard this comment).
