Review of Thank You for Smoking (2005) by Kevin R — 23 Feb 2014

Review:

Although this is an old movie, I still enjoyed it. It shows a different aspect to big business, which, good or bad, every business needs. The acting is great from all of the cast and the writing was witty, even though it is a serious subject. After watching movies like The Insider and many Michael Moore movies which show how big businesses trick the world by making them think that they are doing right by buying there products, it's good to see a lighter side to the subject. It's very well written and entertaining from beginning to end. Enjoyable!

Round-Up:

Judging by the money that this movie made, it must have touched all audiences, smokers and non-smokers, and the relationship between the leading character and his some gave it a human touch. I've seen this movie a few times on TV so I knew what to expect. In a lot of way, this message is politically incorrect, but once the spin had been applied by the spin doctor, you does twist your mind. By the way, the director cleverly didn't show anyone in the movie smoking so he obviously put his own message across.

Budget: $6.5million.

Worldwide Gross: $40million.

I recommend this movie to people who want to learn about the spin doctors who work for the tobacco industry. 6/10.
