Thank You for Smoking

I had heard good stuff about this movie and wasn't let down. This satire is the story of a tobacco spokesperson who works to defend the tobacco industry, and if finding himself increasingly under attack from anti-tobacco advocates, which is what I used to do for a living.

Aaron Eckhart is really great as Nick, and the movie was really funny and clever, but not too over the top. He lunches with two other spokespeople, one who defends booze, the other guns.

It really was pretty great, but one little thing bugged me a ton. There was a scene at lunch when they were eating a piece of pie with cheese on it. Maria Bello tears into the pie and the cheese clearly falls of the pie and isn't that melted. But int he next scene it is back in place, and becomes a focal point of the scene, and this sort of slip should have been caught, especially if there were going to pay that much attention to the pie. It really bugged me!

Also, if anyone goes pay attention, I don't think anybody smokes during the entire movie.

Grade: B+
