Fast paced blend of close-to-truth political intrigue, satire, clever banter and intensity, with enough simplified and goofy humor to keep American audiences shrieking with laughter. The LA festival audience was blessedly quiet through the more subtle and deeply clever humor, so if you have a pan-Atlantic sensibility you can laugh at the cleverly done but obvious stuff, as well as the richer humor that requires attention.
The cast - American, English and Scottish all did an amazing job with high synergy.
There is quite a lot of both obvious and subtle political and cultural allegory, homages, and oblique references.
It was great to see it in a packed theater, and get that immersive social experience one does not get with a DVD.
