A lone, forgotten yogurt cup in the Senate fridge. A sudden, catastrophic grid failure plunges Washington D.C. into chaos, leaving a busload of clueless tourists and their exasperated guide stranded inside the Capitol building. As the power stays off, civility breaks down faster than a cheap suit. This 2010 political satire comedy follows a group of ordinary people who, forced to fend for themselves, hilariously attempt to form their own miniature, dysfunctional government from the ruins of the world's greatest democracy.

The director takes a delightfully absurd premise and runs with it, creating a political satire that feels both ridiculous and uncomfortably plausible. The atmosphere builds from mundane bureaucracy to escalating farce with a straight-faced commitment that makes the humor land.
For anyone who enjoys dry wit and seeing institutions gently dismantled by their own absurdity. You'll feel the quiet satisfaction of watching chaos unfold from a safe, amused distance.— MovieFinder Editorial
