Pure unadulterated wit
In brief, The film follows the goings on of Nick Naylor, the spin doctor of big tobbaco as he argues and debates with anti smoking politicians and activists.
sounds dull right? wrong!
From the get go this film will captivate you and hold you undivided attention with its extraordinary wit and intellegent humour as a man of very flexible morals, teaches his son the art of argument and all without a single cast member smoking a ciggerette. Genius!
On the of chance that I need any more reitteration- watch this film, watch it right now! -
