Thank you for Smoking was a surprise gem that has a unique approach to combining humor and real world issues at the expense of the "good guys." Aaron Eckhart brought life to the argument with his well versed dialogue and a persuasiveness that made me understand why Big Tobacco is so successful. A must see.

As many in the PR/advertising industry have found, the harder the challenge the move ingenious and talented the players become. Nick is at the top of his game, but has to tackle changing public opinion, cancer... read more

I didn't think much of the adverts for this film when it came on to Sky Movies but the boredom of being unemployed was enough for me to give it a try.

I was thoroughly impressed though. It was nothing like I imagined it and every point made was worthy of recognition. As stated already, Naylor is definitely a hero in noctine armour.

Description: Tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Naylor has a seemingly impossible task: promoting cigarette smoking in a time when the health hazards of the activity have become too plain to ignore. Nick, however, revels in his job, using argument and twisted logic to place, as often as not, his clients in the positions of either altruistic do-gooders ... (more)

“This is Jason Reitman's first movie and until now (considering 'Juno' and 'Up in the air'), it is his best one, in my opinion. I don't know about 'Jun”

"22.1 Viaplay rewatched Using Viaplay again, because NHL just started. No early games today, so I picked some movie instead. I´ve seen the movie earlier and then it was surprisingly good. And still is. Just some things I liked: smart dialog and Aaron Eckhart who makes very good role as tobacco industry lobbyist. And above all, movie is very clever. Not just telling tobacco industry, but marketing and advertising in general."
