3.5/4  But I Proved You Wrong
What an excellent premise for a film: take one of the most vile substances on the planet [cigarettes] and slap good ol' Mormon boy Aaron Eckhart's dashing face to it and it becomes a dark comedy worthy of Oscar nods. This movie taught me ... (read full)

3/4  Thank You for a Good Movie
biting, clever satire that hits most of its targets precisely; Aaron Eckhart is both charming and sleazy as the mouthpiece lobbyist for tobacco and first time director Reitman does a sensational job of telling a broad story with masterful... (read full)

1/4  Thank You For Directing Better Movies after this 1
Just saw Thank You for Smoking. I did not think it was funny. I skipped all the scenes with K. Holmes bc that is why I did NOT want to see the movie in the first place. The ending was decent. I like Aaron Eckhart. Maria Bello is good in ev... (read full)

4/4  Thank You for Smoking Quick Review
This is a great movie. The script is insanely funny and the acting is wonderful.

2.5/4  Thank You for Smoking Quick Review
Some of the satire was funny and the premise was good. Overall though, I didn't fall in love with it.

4/4  Thank You for Smoking Quick Review
An indy hit, i love it so much. My favorite Sattire of all time. So great and complex, yet so simple.

3.5/4  Thank You for Smoking Quick Review
I watched this a second time and it was just as good as the first. It was witty, comical and almost inspiring. Not inspiring in the sense that I wanted to smoke, but that I wanted to be the best at anything in life so I be a bit like him.

2.5/4  Thank You for Smoking Quick Review
I wanted to like this movie, but to me, it was nothing special. The performances were good, but story was ok, but in the end I didn't really care too much about him or his son. Also, it's not that funny...

5/5 Intelligent Comedy!!!!
  by Explorer
I loved this movie when I saw it in the theater. Besides being hilarious, this flick is a how to in BSing.

Anyway, the acting was on point, especially Aaron Eckhart, who until I saw him in this film, that I finally took notice. In this film his character Nick Nayler is not a one dimensional character who is just a quick witted, smooth talking, lobbyist, but someone who is also a caring father... Aaron is great in this film.


So, I highly recommend this film for its smart writing, great acting and one of the messages it sends out which I hold dear to my heart...

"Don't be a mindless follower, but instead, think for yourself?"

5/5 Refreshingly intelligent satire
  by Steve (Virginia)
Aaron Eckhart is fast becoming one of my favorite actors to watch (The Dark Night and Conversations with Other Women both showcase his talent) but my interest started with his excellent portrayal of a lobbyist for the tobacco industry in this great movie.
It's hard to find fault in Thank You For Smoking. It features an intelligent script, sharp and disciplined acting, and smooth yet brisk pacing. There are plenty of laughs, a perfect dose of heart, and a filleting of not only the lobby world, but of government, Hollywood, power, and the gullible American public that is surgically precise. There are no punches pulled here, Eckhart leads a brilliant cast of actors and Thank You For Smoking is easily one of the best satire comedies I have seen in a long time. When you look at how much praise Tropic Thunder got for trying (unsuccessfully) to pull off the same skewering satire, it should make you appreciate a gem like TYFS that much more. This is highly recommended.


5/5 Awesome movie!

This movie is great. It's hilarious with a very cynical tone throughout the movie. The negotiating and reasoning is great, will teach you how to deal with people.

5/5 Thank you for Buying
  by Thomas Hahn
This movie is a hilarious parody of everything it touches; Political lobbies, Hollywood, and most of all the American homeowner, trying to pay the mortgage.

4/5 Spin is the message, not anti-tobacco
  by Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
You might mistake this for an anti-smoking propaganda movie, and there is just a little of that. But this is really about modern spin and how it's taken over every issue in society, making it difficult to filter out fact from fiction. This is unexpectedly entertaining.
