Hilarious. It ridicules both the smoking industry, the opponents of the smoking industry, everyone in between, and it's funny as hell the entire way through. I've heard some critics say that it's actually too tame in comparison to the book, but I know nothing about the source material, so I can't really comment on that.
I do feel like it was worth the extra gas money to reach a theater in Tennessee that was actually playing it.
Thank You For Smoking
