Film: Thank You for Smoking

[phr]

My favorite scene is the one where they're arguing over which kills more people anually. Alcohol, guns, or tobacco. Tobacco won, hands down.

I need a smoke

i saw this movie last week on cable, and i really enjoyed it

i quit smoking 3 weeks ago and it reminded me why

 

[TALLY]

It was pretty good, but bad acting. Like whenever he all of a sudden gets an idea and gets a pondered look on his face....yeah.

 

[goatofthenever]

Fairly well made, but a generic flow and unoriginal writing. Not much for a laugh, just a faint smile. Not too bad, not too good.

2/5

^ I couldn't have said it better myself.

2 stars

 

[playabandita]

i liked this movie.
*also, although i normally hate katie holmes, she looked smoking hot in this movie and i wanted to rape her asshole

I only got to see about the first quarter of it, my girlfriend didn't like it.

But the part I saw was hilarious. I guess I'll save it for watching with my next girlfriend, cause I'm about to dump this one.

The two people who voted this as one star clearly must have no attention span and need a thourgh medical examination. This movie is quality, four stars.

 

[tribal girl]

I watched about 20 mins of this before switching off.

I didn't laugh once.

 

[Finder]

^Not 80s enough for you?

 

[tribal girl]

Exactly.

 

[mariacallas]

^^oh noes! something we disagree about

I caught this on cable two nights ago and I thought it was hilarious because I had no idea what it was about, and what to expect. Great flick. The only downside was Katie Holmes....I cant fucking stand her.

I did it for the mortgage!

Such a Taboo subject. Who is pro-tobacco?
I really like Aaron Eckhart going in. So there is a bias. Cute Katie can't hold a scene bless her heart. Very entertaining. I liked it a lot. Saw it twice in the theater.
The lunch/dinner scenes with spokes-people from Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is hard-smart.


Jason Reitmans next movie as Director was "Juno". Now people know who 'HE' is.

 

[DigitalDuality]

loved it.

Most of you are dumb as shit. This is a classic movie and it deserves a lot more credit than most of you are giving it. It's a completley original idea and the movies don't have that anymore. It's a very smart comedy and I think you should try and watch it again.

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Speaking as a non-cigarette smoker, I thought the movie was very funny and clever. Aaron Eckhart was awesome in it, to the point that it warrants a sequel just to see his character again.

I loved the team of Alcohol, (Maria Bello...my God is that woman hot!) Tobacco (Ekhart) and Firearms (David Koechner)! I only wish there were more scenes of them sitting in a bar together. Their dialogue was hilarious. 4/5

Bobby Jay Bliss: Did you know that you can fool the breathalizer test by chewing on activated charcoal tablets?

Polly Bailey: Well, maybe we should change our slogan to "If you must drink and drive, suck charcoal."

Nick Naylor: Won't the police ask about the charcoal in your mouth?

Bobby Jay Bliss: There's not a law against charcoal.

Polly Bailey, Nick Naylor: Yet.
