Thank You For Smoking, directed by Jason Reitman, takes a satirical look at the smoking industry from the point of view of its key spokesman, a fictional character named Nick Naylor (played by Aaron Eckhart), who will do and say anything to keep the choice to smoke an American right. It does draw such a thin line on this topic that one might wonder whether or not the film was actually financed by the tabacco industry. The film is fun and askew and wrong on oh-so-many levels but that's exactly what makes it watchable.
My rating (as a rabid non-smoker even!) 7 out of 10
