Movie Review: Thank You For Smoking

I heard a short snippet from this movie while listening to NPR and was impressed by the witty dialogue. Put it on my NetFlix queue.

And it was worth it. As one reviewer put it, this is not a spoof, rather a sophisticated satire on lobbying and government. I found myself laughing out loud at times at the pure cleverness of the characters, the dialogue, heck the premise.

Perhaps because I appreciate what Washington DC is about in this respect did I enjoy it even more. It takes an ability to see the humor in any situation (like death via cigarette smoking!) to really enjoy this one.

I loved it and highly recommend it for both humor, screenplay, and social narrative.
