2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   The Irony of the fact that the US is now requiring graphic warning labels some 6 years after this movie was made was not lost on me as I watched this film. But, I didn’t get this film for its message, I got it because I heard how great the humor was – and I wasn’t disappointed. For fans of satire – this is a must see film about the plight of Nick Naylor, a spokesman for big tobacco as he furthers the mission of making sure the giants continue to see their profits. The movie was hilarious, and delivered by its all star cast, the tongue in cheek moments generated plenty of LOL moments.

4. Acting

   Really Great 4.5

   Aaron Eckhart is the glue behind this whole movie, but boy did he have an outstanding back-up cast: JK Simmons, David Koechner, Willam Macy, Robert Duval, Rob Lowe, Maria Bello, Sam Elliot. All of them world class.
