Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble
Christopher Buckley’s savagely funny satirical novel about an amoral lobbyist has been brilliantly adapted to the screen by writer-director Jason Reitman, son of comedy producer-director Ivan Reitman Ghostbusters. Aaron Eckhart portrays Nick Naylor, an indefatigable advocate for Big Tobacco who routinely makes fools of the feckless media types and arrogant politicians opposing his clients. Nick loves bragging about his latest maneuvers to his fellow lobbyists Maria Bello and David Koechner while alternately attempting to be a role model to his precocious 12-year-old son Cameron Bright. His effectiveness, however, is considerably diminished when an ambitious reporter Katie Holmes uses her feminine wiles to extract inside information from him. What’s most effective about Buckley’s novel -- and this reasonably faithful screen version -- is that there’s no clearly definable line separating the good guys from the bad guys; both Nick and his opponents are depicted as being equally venal and opportunistic. Refreshingly free of crude humor and related vulgarities, Thank You for Smoking is smart, witty, and delightfully ironic from first frame to last, and for that we are thankful.

    Brilliant Satire

    A charming renewal of the 80's satire, Reitman does an excellent job as the "morally flexible" lobbyist who is equally venal and smooth. He rallies for Big Tobacco, maybe one of this country's biggest corrupting forces in the past and is seen as the underdog--what's not more American than that. Keep going, Mr. Reitman.

    A satire that wisely shows both sides and adds a touch of heart

    "Thank You for Smoking" was an entertaining movie. I enjoyed the portrayal of corporate shenanigans and its satire of Hollywood types. The acting was good and all players did their jobs well but I was a bit put off by the smirking 'we're so smart and hip attitude' of the movie. A bit of humbleness is appealing you know. Some say the subject matter in this film i.e. to smoke or not to smoke is equally weighed. I personally didn't feel that way at all. I felt the overall tone for the movie was geared toward smoking. Personally, I don't smoke but I don't mind that this film is for smoking. What I liked about the film is that it kept my brain going. And like I said majority of this film is predictable, but you do begin to question how free the rights of the American Public are? Should smoking be banned or should smokers have their rights too? Like stated in the film people know smoking is bad yet they still do it. Why? The movie puts a nice spin on the importance of information and looking at things from alternative views. It's nice to see Aaron Eckhart play a good solid role for once. I think his performance in this film was excellent and extremely believable. I think after this role we will be seeing him in more movies. William H. Macy also stars and shines yet again. Macy is one of the best actors in Hollywood who for years still never got the appreciation he deserves. Also Katie Holmes does a decent job although her character is extremely predictable. I personally think Holmes does a good job at playing bad girl roles like her role here and in "The Gift". The reason I think that is because she looks so innocent so when she comes out saying something like "I want to f*** you, when I watch you on TV" it seems out of the ordinary for her. This is also probably another reason why Tom Cruise loves her she's probably a very bad girl outside the public eye. Even though this is Jason Reitman's first feature film he is one to keep an eye on. I feel as the time goes on he will become a very big director just like his father. Being that "Smoking" is his first film, I think he has already hit a home run. I think the guy has talent and as long as he keeps making good movies he will be just as big as his dad is someday. So in conclusion, I like the message behind "Thank You For Smoking" but not the overall subject matter of the film. This movie provides its audience with fine acting, a good script and some nice directing. The film's idea also keeps its audience thinking. It's a good movie to watch with someone and then have a nice long talk with about it afterwards. It's a satirical look at the smoking issue although I still feel it tilts more towards one side than the other. But at the end of the day, it's a good independent film which you will be able to enjoy and appreciate.
