Thank you for smoking (2005): The best movie to see for any PR student. Trust me!

I accidentally came across this amazing movie while reading through Women in PR: why they win blog.  All it took was 10 minutes for me to realize how intriguing this could be for all PR students.  I am not really good in writing reviews on the movies, so will just quickly introduce the context of the finest movie I have seen for the recent months.

Nick Naylor (Eckhart) is one man who talks for a living and does he talk! Nick is the Vice President of The Academy of Tobacco Studies, the official spokesperson for cigarette manufacturers and smooth talks his way when they are in a mess. Smoking kills, but Nick Naylor would beg to differ. Aditya's Movie Review Blog


Genre: Comedy/Drama
Starring: Aaron Eckhart, Cameron Bright, J.K. Simmons, Maria Bello, David Koechner, Katie Holmes, William Macy

Guys, seriously, it is worth to have a nice 2 hour break from  working on your assignments and watch this movie. Will give you a link where you can see it for free:


Would also like to know what you all thought about it. Especially would like Catherine (my tutor) to let us all know if this movie is any way close to how it works in the real live?!

  2. Never actually seen the whole movie but I did youtube it when revising for my exams last year. I have a very visual memory, so it proved to be well helpful. Especially the bit where that guy explains lobbying to some kid, and seeing as lobbying took up a big chunk of my political and economical analysis module it came up on my exam. So I even ended up quoting the movie in my exam answer.
