23 - Thank You for Smoking


I love how this movie was constructed. It's the grand buffet of debatable topics, and yet it's really telling the story about the life of a lobbyist.

The humor is smart and I just found myself bursting in laughter at all the well placed punchlines.

The MOD squad was a stroke of fictional genius. Can you imagine the top speakers on tobacco, alcohol, and gun control being friends and having regular lunch get-togethers? And somewhere amid all the chaos are bits of love...bond among friends, bond between father and son, hidden bond between parents.

....it was an argument, not a negotiation...
