THANK YOU FOR SMOKING
8/10
Wow! What a great start to the film festival. Had a great time watching Thank You For Smoking which was a tongue in cheek comedy where the protaganist is the american cigarette industry's main lobbyist. His job is to defend cigarettes and does a great job doing so. It's a little weird taking the side of the guy who you know is fighting for the wrong side. Lots of familiar faces in this film too; Wiliam H. Macy, Rob Lowe, Robert Duvall, Katie Holmes, etc - will definitely need to be doing some IMDB checks to try and recall where I've seen some of them before. Highly recommended, hopefully I havent hit my highlight for the festival in the first film this year :-).
