    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!

    Fairly obvious and pretty pedestrian

    This had had good reviews both on here and when in the cinema but didn't feel it lived up to the hype. The ideas were there but it was so obvious and the comedy was limited. Pity- the idea could have produced an excellent film,

    Katie Holmes was very badly cast as an attractive ruthless journalist. The description you hear of her before you meet the character is laughable. The relationship between her and the main character is also predictable and slightly ruins the film though realise it was a necessary part.

    All in all don't go out of your way to watch this film.
