Thank you for Smoking

What a great movie

Funny, intelligent satire full of perceptive and thought provoking.

Story of a lobbist for the Cigarette industry. Relies on aguement and personal preference as a defence.

Bits to remember:

  • The TV pannel
  • The school day for this son
  • The lunch time team of 3

Writing
Jason Reitman (screenplay)
Christopher Buckley (novel) - I think I might read this now.

Actors
  • Aaron Eckhart .... Nick Naylor - Really makes to show
  • Cameron Bright.... Joey Naylor
  • Sam Elliott .... Lorne Lutch - as always
  • Rob Lowe .... Jeff Megall - interesting, but not entirely convincing
  • William H. Macy.... Senator Ortolan K. Finistirre
  • J.K. Simmons .... Budd "BR" Rohrabacher
  • Robert Duvall .... Doak 'The Captain' Boykin
