Thank You for Smoking
“Nick Naylor doesn't hide the truth...he filters it.”
ComedyDrama
Nick Naylor is a charismatic spin-doctor for Big Tobacco who'll fight to protect America's right to smoke -- even if it kills him -- while still remaining a role model for his 12-year old son. When he incurs the wrath of a senator bent on snuffing out cigarettes, Nick's powers of "filtering the truth" will be put to the test.
VIBE
This film feels like a slick, fast-talking journey through the absurdities of modern spin and public relations. It's a darkly humorous, intellectually stimulating ride that makes you question truth and perception, all while maintaining a surprisingly charming, yet unsettling, wit. Expect a constant volley of clever banter.
