Thank you for Smoking is a story about Nick Naylor who is played by Aaron Eckhart who is the Chief's Spokesman for BIG Tobacco. 'spins' for the cigarettes companies.Thank you for Smoking as an All Star cast from Aaron Eckhart, Maria Bello,Cameron Bright,Adam Brody,Sam Elliott, Katie Holmes, David Koechner, Rob Lowe, William H. Macy, J.K. Simmons and Robert Duvall. What an fantastic line up of an all star cast.
The movie is a satire based on the Cigarette company and those who are fighting to stop the Cigarette companies. It really shows and make you sort of cheering for the main character Nick Naylor and cigarettes. The dialogue in Thank you for Smoking is great its smart, intelligent and quite funny.
One of my favorite characters in Thank you for Smoking is Bobby Jay Bliss who is played by the hilarious David Koechner, who is one of the funniest guys in Hollywood today, he's been in Anchorman: A Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. In Thank you for Smoking he played one of the M.O.D. standing for Merchants of Death, who are Cigarette promoter, Alcohol, and Guns promoter. David Koechner plays the Gun promoter, who promotes guns to the youth. He was hilarious in this film. Every scenes he was in he did great.
The story is really smart it was first a book by the author, Christopher Buckley, which I must say I haven't read so I can't compare the Novel and the feature film. Overall I loved this film and I strongly recommend everything that this is a must See.
