Thank You for Smoking may have an uneven plot and its emotional message does go astray, but it is still a thought-provoking satire on the corporate world and human dilemmas within.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 9, 2024

If we were to eliminate and outlaw everything that rubbed someone else’s morals the wrong way, we’d never be able to leave our homes, watch R-rated movies, or consume anything but tap water and a vegan diet.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 14, 2007

Reveling in politically incorrect humor, Reitman takes no prisoners in his debut feature that tackles everything from political hypocrisy to baby seals.

| Jul 10, 2007

The rare film that stays within itself, mocking its obvious targets with the cool insouciance of mentholated tobacco.

| Feb 22, 2007

... a real-life comedic drama that doesn't preach so much as it encourages you to think for yourself lest you be bamboozled like the rest of the flock.
