rating system?
An 'evangelist' for the tobacco companies and his relationship with his teenage son.

This was so good! a winning combination of actors (I now can ALMOST forgive Eckhart for The Core), good writing, a fast-moving plot and some excellent bits of computer animation/drawing.

One of the things I like about this is Eckhart's character, who unabashedly promotes smoking. Why? because he's good at it. He's a charming convincer, and his law degree notwithstanding, putting 'spin' on smoking for the tobacco companies is what he gets well paid for, and loves to do. Unapologetically. Even when things kinda blow up in his face.

I also liked the whole idea of the three friends meeting and comparing notes, that was hilarious.

Anyway. A good, intelligent, funny, thought provoking movie. And Aaron Eckhart, easy on the eye. What more could you ask?
