Thank You for Smoking Updated: Apr 30, 2008 Genre: Comedy Duration: 1 hr 32 min Director: Jason Reitman Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Maria Bello, Cameron Bright, Adam Brody, Sam Elliott Cinema Show Times

Review: The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Christopher Buckley. In Thank You for Smoking, Nick Naylor, a chief spokesman for Big Tobacco, makes his livelihood protecting the rights of smokers and cigarette makers in today's new strictly moral culture. Challenged by health supporters to ban tobacco and an opportunistic senator who wants to put poison labels on cigarette packs, Nick goes on odious public relations, gyrating away the hazards of cigarettes on T.V talk shows and recruits a Hollywood producer to promote smoking in movies.

Nick's pristine disrepute attracts the attention of both tobacco's head and an exploratory reporter for a significant Washington daily. Nick says he is just doing what it takes to pay the credit, but the augmented investigation of his son and a very factual death threat may compel him to think in a different way.

MPAA Rating: R for language and some sexual content.
