Looks cool indeed. I feel like smoking already

Dont know the lead actor but he looks like he does a good job (judging from the 2-minute trailer). Nice supporting cast though...

Aaron Eckhart is a top notch actor who should be A List.

Yes its up to them, but only if they stay away from everyone else esspecially kids and innocents who "they" kill every year.
Hence it should be illegal as no one smokes in a confined room away from the public and they are killing people with their smoke.

The governments of the world need some balls and should just ban it. It has killed more than all the wars of the past 50 years, that alone tells you something.

The film, well I just cannot bring myself to even see the trailer as I just dont find anything about the subject funny at all, if your relatives were dying from smoking I guess you too could feel a bit pissed.

actually the trailer does look funny and i'll check the movie out sometime

i dont like smoking either but well you cant really stop people smoking around you, i dont agree with smoking around small kids. but if one wants to smoke go ahead is their decision.

if your relatives were dying from smoking I guess you too could feel a bit pissed

my father is dying because of smoking, but i dont feel pissed because they brought a movie out making fun of smoking. my moms ex husband, had his leg amputated because of smoking... but you know, if a movies funny, then its funny. we make fun of stuff like hitler and the world wars, terrorism and such stuff, so why should we not make fun of smoking too?

Sorry about your dad Shen

You make a good point though, the film is a satire after all.
Romero, I know, I meant its up to them, thats fine, as long as they do it away from me

Smoking in front of kids is a no-no also.

4.5/5

Guys see this movie right now. Honestly, it's one of the funniest satires I've seen. Contrary to the how it may be portrayed in the trailer, the film is more about challenging an arguement instead of exploiting smokers. Just noticed something interesting on the imdb trivia:

"No one is shown smoking a cigarette throughout the entire movie."

The screenplay is very clever and provides an unbiased viewpoint on a particular subject, which happens to be smoking but really, it can be applied to anything. Fresh, witty dialogue and layers of humour top off what could be one of the finest politically incorrect titles of recent years.
