Thank You for Smoking
Lead Actors: Aaron Eckhart, JK Simmons, Maria Bello, and Katie Holmes
Director: Jason Reitman
Release Year: 2006
Runtime: 92 minutes
Dark, bitingly cynical, and terrifying in its implications, this is an excellent comedy approaching a divisive issue from a different standpoint. Aaron Eckhart is perfect for the role as the ultimate spin artist, demonstrating the power of twisting a narrative in all aspects of American life, especially in the realm of public health. Compact and direct in its comedy, Thank You for Smoking was one of the better comedies I've seen in the past few years. Reccommended for anyone, even the most vehement anti-smokers.
