Movie Review time!!! Thank You For Smoking.

Thank You For Smoking... tagline: America is living in spin.

This movie, starring Aaron Eckart and a wonderful supporting cast of Willian H Macy, Katie Holmes, Rob Lowe and Sam Elliot, cracked me up. Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckart,) a lobbyist for the tobacco industry, is bent on putting spin to everything in his life, just for the challenge of it.

It wasn't afraid to push some cultural buttons. In the process, however, it wasn't a serious movie bent on taking sides or a political stance on any topic. Quite refreshing.

While I like political movies that have a particular message-- Thank You For Smoking was a nice departure from that. It manages not to be politically correct without being offensive-- quite a feat.

Here is a trailer to let you decide for yourself...
