Thank You For Smoking is an elegant satire, sneaky and subtle...

played so amiably that you barely notice how prickly its barbs are until they have dug right in.

Leave your preconceptions at the door, prepare for your favourite causes to be skewered, and enjoy. This is one fun movie.

Reveling in politically incorrect humor, Reitman takes no prisoners in his debut feature that tackles everything from political hypocrisy to baby seals.
Jul 10, 2007
The rare film that stays within itself, mocking its obvious targets with the cool insouciance of mentholated tobacco.

An acerbically funny satire, Thank You For Smoking offers no filters as it mercilessly puffs out moral controversy and political incorrectness. It's fast, witty and sharp, as the film lobbies for personal choice, hitting bulls-eyes in the underbellies of

The film shows its heart while shrewdly exposing the art of half-truth spinning and deflection.
Aug 14, 2006
This film about cigarettes is addictive as the substance and much more fun. It's hard to believe that you could have compassion for someone who shills for Big Tobacco.
