    I don't see how it is possible to not like this movie. Nick Naylor is one of the most original characters in years. This movie is full of memorable lines. I highly recommend this one.

    Great satirical film. The script is witty and sharp and smart. Aaron Eckhart plays a man who works to promote cigarettes. He is wonderful in this tongue in cheek lead and backed up by the likes of William H. Macy, Katie Holmes, Robert Duvall and others who all play colorful and amusing characters. My favorite role was Sam Elliott as the aging Marlboro man who 'really smoked Kools' but now has lung cancer. This movie lampoons everyone and goes beyond just the smoking issue and nobody is granted mercy here...but all done in good fun. I DO think this would have served best as a 10 minute comedy routine and perhaps not quite enough material for a full length film; but overall it is an enjoyable movie.
