THANKS FOR SMOKING

TITLE: Thanks for smoking
YEAR: 2005
DIRECTOR: Jason Reitman
PRODUCER: David O. Sacks
MAIN CAST:Aaron Eckhart, Maria Bello, Cameron Bright, Adam Brody, Sam Elliott
LANGUAGE: English
GENRE(s): Comedy, Satire
THEMES: Work Ethics, Boardroom Jungle, Members of the Press
REFERENCES: Jason Reitman's adaptation of Thank You for Smoking aims its satirical slings at something much bigger than the smoking lobby. Aaron Eckhart's Nick Naylor gleefully manipulates everyone and everything in his path. While the film gets huge laughs from the audacious (though not quite totally unbelievable) sentiments Naylor expresses on behalf of the tobacco industry, it also gives this media Machiavelli a heart simply by showing that his ability to shape an argument isn't something he has to work on or think about -- it comes to him naturally. Some might think he is soulless, but it would be more accurate to say that spinning is his soul. (from answers.com)
