Pure unadulterated wit
By MikeHuntt from wirral , 21 Jun 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
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!- Was this review helpful to you?

(311)Thank you for making this
By TheWatchman (520 reviews) from Suburbia , 24 May 2013‘Thank You For Smoking’ couldn’t be an easy film to sell. It basically tells a lot of people (possibly smokers!) what they don’t want to hear, while, at the same time, making that smug smile that only NON-smokers wear, just that little bit more hard to take. However, despite trying to offend most people, it actually works. It’s a clever and subtle form of humour which is completely devoid of any [American] ‘pie jokes.’ It features a great ensemble cast and none one of which lets the side down. It’s hard to pick a favourite among so many. You just have to put them all together and let them get on with it (maybe Row Lowe steals every scene?). If you’re in the mood for something a little bit more satirical, then give this a go – living proof that Americans DO understand satire just as much as us Brits.- Was this review helpful to you?

SMOKE IS COMING OUT OF EARS !
By Burnhamite (388 reviews) from BURNHAM , 23 Apr 2013What a complete waste of time ! This movie would drive one, not to smoke, but to drink alcohol and end up in a rehabilitation clinic.- Was this review helpful to you?

Reitman For The Job
By Robinski (165 reviews) from Glasgow , 27 Dec 2012Cutting satire from Jason Reitman who also wrote the screenplay, and he directs an excellent cast, some in blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos. Aaron Eckhart is every inch the unscrupulous and single-minded PR wiz, sauntering through a slightly chaotic series of episodes, surrounded by a host of well drawn characters. The scenes featuring the cabal of Eckhart, Mario Bello (booze) and David Koechner (guns) are biting, and a triumverate of Robert Duval, JK Simmons and William H. Macy provide the gravitas (sort of!). As if that wasn't enough to keep your attention there are appearances by Sam Elliot, Rob Lowe, Dennis Miller and Todd Louiso. Katie Holmes plays reporter with her sights on the protagonist well enough. All in all it's an entertaining piece and should get the grey cells going, but for Reitman it perhaps serves best as a warm up for what followed, namely 'Juno' then 'Up in the Air'.- Was this review helpful to you?

INHALE AND ENJOY
By Fenlandia (11 reviews) , 27 Aug 2012Great fun. This is what our stinky politicians and big biz do. Face up to it people! Enjoyed AE's smooth, clever and manipulative character portrayal. We need more comedies like this keeping it real.- Was this review helpful to you?
