Review of Thank You for Smoking (2005) by Kenneth R — 12 Dec 2011

With an ensemble cast and short runtime, it should come as little surprise that Thank You for Smoking comes with some inherit shortcomings, including a complete lack of resolution for one of the film's random story arcs.

Nonetheless, it remains a brisk, enjoyable film that does a good job satirizing while keeping a down-to-earth mentality intact. Fingers are pointed throughout the film, but given the film's context, it's a justified aspect that, thankfully, avoids feeling too overt to muddle the more pressing points.
