Critics swoon over movie about PR pro: Have you seen it? Have you heard of it?

In the Loop , a comedy about a British press officer, has drawn critical acclaim, including high praise from Advertising Age media columnist Simon Dumenco. “It’s … one of the smartest, funniest movies about the modern media, and its perverting effect on the body politic, that I’ve ever seen,” he wrote. The movie is based on the BBC television series, “The Thick of It.” You can watch the trailer here .
