"Thank You For Smoking" takes a satirical look at the tobacco industry and follows spokesman Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) as he does his best to convince the public that smoking is cool and acceptable whilst trying to remain a positive role model to his son.
It's a very amusing film, sarcastic, clever and interesting to watch. It covers the tricky subject of smoking very well. I loved the part where Naylor gets kidnapped by an anti-smoking group... technically shouldn't be funny, but it is.
I think the script is excellent, and there were some brilliant one liners. The cast is impressive. Aaron Eckhart was an actor that I wasn't really familiar with, but he is so good in this role. He comes across as so charming and intelligent. Team this up with excellent supporting roles from Rob Lowe and William H Macy, and you have a brilliantly cast movie.
Definitely worth a watch.
9/10
