This movie is perhaps the darkest of comedies, and one of the best comedies in a very long time. True, it is an absurdist film, but anyone who has worked in the government--or a dictatorship--will find many truths in it. The entire cast is great, but Jeffery Tambor steals the show as Stalin's successor, delivering an outstanding but understated performance. I would recommend this film to anyone who "gets it." If you don't, go watch Hangover III.
