October 1, 2009A really enjoyable film! Aaron Eckhart is become one of my favourite actors, his performance is faultless. The film isn't really about smoking, it?s about morals and politics and whether they can ever go hand in hand. Its direction, script and its says-it-like-it-is attitude make...( read more)

July 2, 2009A rather interesting film. Delving into the world of spin-doctoring, the film's wit moves fast and offers much humor to go with the lessons provided.
Aaron Eckhart was a dynamite choice for Nick Naylor, spokesman extraordinaire. The character himself seems nearly unflappable, ev...( read more) -
June 13, 2009This was a very interesting movie. A very impressive screenplay based on the novel by Christopher Buckley and brought to the screen by Jason Reitman (also director). The movie is a satirical comedy that follows Nick Naylor (Eckhart, who is in top form), Big Tobacco's chief spokes...( read more)

March 19, 2009Good but soft satire. It makes you aware of the power of words, but it doesn't hit hard enough just how much influence the tobacco industry has over our culture
-
February 15, 2009The life of a lobbyist. Not just any lobbyist either. One for the tobacco industry.
Pretty interesting but it wanders. I'm sure the book is better. I found myself wanting to see what the other 'Merchants of Death' were up to. Still the cast is great. (OK, I'll give Katie Holm...( read more) -

October 14, 2009The first half an hour blew me away, i was thinking 'Wow, what a great movie, being a lobyist is really cool', but then i begin to think, what the heck this movie wanna show us? and i was right till the end, none. It's just those movie that tries something but failed, and weirdly...( read more)

Even the good lines here last a self-congratulatory beat too long. full review
March 31, 2006
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Reitman, still in his 20s, knows something that many more seasoned directors never figure out: how to make audiences laugh along with a film that's laughing at itself. full review
March 31, 2006
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Literate and smirky in its assault on liars and fools across the map. full review
March 30, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
To watch the film is to feel the delicious discomfort of being seduced by a devilish charmer. full review
March 24, 2006
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Thank You for Smoking is a glib satire with a slick surface, lots of snappy patter and nothing to sell but its own cleverness. full review
March 23, 2006
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Here is a satire both savage and elegant, a dagger instead of a shotgun. Thank You for Smoking targets the pro-smoking lobby with a dark appreciation of human nature. full review
March 16, 2006
Claudia Puig, USA Today
That quirky and intelligent rarity that elicits wry smiles and hearty laughs alike. full review
March 13, 2006
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Tediously subscribes to a cover-your-*** school of social comedy in which everyone and everything prove fair game for ridicule. full review
March 9, 2006
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Ethics never get in the way of the jokes. Both sides of the political fence will feel royally skewered. full review

December 6, 2007A good film that in the beginning started kind of slow but picked up. The middle of the movie kind of fell short of what I thought could have been done better to keep the film going. But in the end it all came together and explained what this movie was all about all along. The main character "Aaron Eckhart" did a good job but I wouldn't give him actor of the year. This film needed more comedic lines and story to back it up. All and all a good movie I would rather watch for free on Netflix than spend money to see it.
