  Poor film
  
  I really didn't see the point of this dull, boring film. Such a great cast, such a shame they couldn't pull it out of the depths it had sunk into.

  Great, but don't expect to like any of them.
  
  An excellent, anarchic film, with wonderfully understated performances throughout - and not a likable character amongst them! (well, except the son of the main ... read more »

  Kept me awake 2nd time round
  
  Started watching on TV but feel asleep half way through (this was not a reflection on the movie). Glad I rented it as it's well worth watching.

  At last an intelligent film
  
  Who said Americans couldn't do irony? This is a brilliant satirical tale which keeps packing a punch the whole way through the film.

  Warning: Health Risk
  
  92 minutes of pure torture.One of the worst movies i've ever watched. So boring I can't remember anything from the movie 1 week on.

  Add this now - Its not about smoking!
  
  Thats right this film has nothing to do with smoking. If you like quirky, dark comedies (like me) you'll love this film.

  Instantly forgettable.
  
  Amusing take on the tobacco industry and P.R. people. Witty and well-acted, it is nevertheless one of those films that fail to leave any lasting impression. I ... read more »

  ~ No, no. Thank you! =]
  
  An intelligent, dark, witty insight in to an otherwise un-touched subject matter. Excellent film. Go rent it now!

  Not funny just sick.
  
  Not funny if you know someone who has died from smoking.
