Thank You For Smoking

Post by Drinsic Darkwood »

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.
Do unto others what has been done to you.

When I was a kid in the 70s, my best friend's dad worked for RJ Reynolds in Sales or Marketing. He was just an average guy.

I used to think he was cool because he always had tons of stickers of Winston Drag Racing etc.
