Thank You for Smoking (2005)

Synopsis: A lobbyist for the tobacco industry is shown at his work and also in his interactions with his infant son. He starts a sexual relationship with a reporter who is making a story on him. Based on a novel by Christopher Buckley (1st ed. 1994).

Appraisal: Smart and witty, but somewhat lacking in really substantial contents; formally it is pedestrian, showing also a disturbing and unjustified penchant for extreme close-ups.

Rating: 58
