Thank You for Smoking (2005)

Cast: Aaron Eckhart (Nick Naylor), Maria Bello (Polly Bailey), Cameron Bright (Joey Naylor), Adam Brody (Jack), Sam Elliott (Lorne Lutch), Katie Holmes (Heather Holloway)
For complete info for this film, see IMDb's Thank You for Smoking page.

Thank You for Smoking really surprised me. I expected it to be more out there and as a non-smoker who's really allergic to smoke (puffy & watery eyes, breathing problems, etc.), I would have never imagined rooting for a character supporting the tobaco industry. The movie was very entertaining and I was shocked to find that the main character reminded me a lot of my dad.

My dad's never smoked, but he did teach me how to argue my way out of many situations I've encountered in life. The relationship between Nick Naylor and his son Joey was wonderfully portrayed.

If you missed Thank You for Smoking in theatres, I definitely recommend renting it. It's a very well done movie.

Grade: B+
