: Thank You For Smoking

Fun parody about a smoking lobbyist. While it’s not laugh-out-loud funny, it has a lot of great moments, and I was really impressed by the unusual plot twists that did the unexpected (so many films today are totally predictable, especially comedies). I really liked the relationship between the smoozer dad and his son and the way he teaches his son to be just like him (we see the son out-arguing the mother, etc.). There’s actually some very good information there on persuasion techniques. The bottom line is that the film’s entertaining and fun, but not hilarious. Definitely worth seeing if you enjoy parodies.
