Hands down, the best comedy of the past few years. Armando Iannucci and his team are geniuses. One thing I particularly appreciate is how it actually raises above pure ruthless satire by portraying Simon Foster as a guy you actually feel sorry for at the end. Yes, he deserves being a subject of ridicule on more than a few occasions, but at the same time has a certain naiveté and sweetness to him which makes him a full-fledged human being - something I'd be hesitant to say about almost all the other characters, as great as they are. I credit both the writers and Tom Hollander for that, because they could have easily stayed within the confines of an angry satire in which everything is exaggerated, but they actually went slightly beyond that. One of the reasons the movie has such a rewatchability value. Well, beyond having brilliant, intelligent, razor-sharp jokes machine-gunned at you for 90 minutes straight.
