Thank You For Smoking is a really funny comedy featuring an all-star cast of actors. Now usually movies with a bunch of big names in it takes away from plot and comedy timing but "TYFS" does not disapoint. Basicly the movis... Full review

This movie was really funny! But the things that make you laugh are kind of scary. Just the irony of the main character's job and how he can put a positive spin on smoking. Sadly, I know there are people out... Full review

So few times has Hollywood generated a satirical film that really works. This film has it all - rhetoric, humor, sadness. And the most important message of all - choice. In this "free" country of ours, we are reminded that American... Full review

This is not a feel-good movie. ... Full Review
| Sep 15, 2008Urban Cinefile
Review by Louise Keller: An acerbically funny satire, Thank You For Smoking offers no filters as it mercilessly puffs out moral controversy and political incorrectness.
Some, but not all; there are many of those throughout and the screenplay likes to score surprise goals in any direction, not just for one editorial team.

One of the best film of 2006.
An excellent hilarious film about lobbyists, journalists, politicians, Hollywood and the general hypocrisy and greed of our society.
Aaron Eckhart is great in his best role yet.

for 90 minutes the memory of all the anti-smoking ads is replaced with laughter and one of the funniest movies to come out this year.....while voice-overs tend to be hit or miss in other movies, they fit nicely and are an appropriate accompaniment to the fast-paced movie.....works and is a nice addition to the already packed movie.....Maria Bello plays an alcohol lobbyist Polly Bailey, and the very funny David Koechner plays gun lobbyist Bobby Jay Bliss..... ...
