The razor-sharp satire Thank You for Smoking is the wittiest dark comedy of the year thus far. It has appeal to all sides of the political spectrum.

Here is a satire both savage and elegant, a dagger instead of a shotgun.
Cynical and cheerily merciless.
A very smart and funny movie directed by Jason Reitman, who also shrewdly adapted the screenplay from Christopher Buckley's savagely satiric novel.
Playing a Big Tobacco lobbyist, Aaron Eckhart puts his golden news-anchor good looks and smooth conviction to better use than in any pic since his breakthrough film, "In the Company of Men."
Glibly funny and eager to please.
The movie is amusing and clever but only skin deep. It lacks the acidity and rage of a satire such as "Network."
