Plot: Nick Naylor, chief spokesman for Big Tobacco, makes his living defending the rights of smokers and cigarette makers in today's neo-puritanical culture. Confronted by health zealots out to ban tobacco ...( read more read more... )and an opportunistic senator who wants to put poison labels on cigarette packs, Nick goes on a PR offensive, spinning away the dangers of cigarettes on TV talk shows and enlisting a Hollywood super-agent to promote smoking in movies. Nick's newfound notoriety attracts the attention of both tobacco's head honcho and an investigative reporter for an influential Washington daily. Nick says he is just doing what it takes to pay the mortgage, but the increased scrutiny of his son and a very real death threat may force him to think differently.

    Very clever comedy by Jason Reitman.
    An amazing screenplay with interesting dialogues and arguments from start to finish.
    Eckard is brilliant and convincing, and it's really cool that the hero's playing the devil's advocate, while the villain is the good senator who leads the anti-smoking campain.

    Thank You For Smoking was a better movie than I expected it to be, I liked the guy who acted as the main character and found it to be quite entertaining.

    Cool character, the protagonist. Interesting to watch. The fact that its about tobacco is irrelevant, although educational.

    an interesting idea for a movie, but ridiculous in its effort to be sincere. at times it was funny but not enough to make it really worth it.

    Eckhart is really good at being the guy who could make an argument for anything. His kid in the movie is CREEPY. I thought this movie was very interesting and full of funny lines and great actors.

    A 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.
