The Laughs Aren't Filtered Out
Review of Thank You For Smoking DVD by
craig200uk
Advantages: Remains refreshing after multiple views; a nice alternative to the slurry of poor recent comedy films
Disadvantages: Perhaps not to everyone's taste
...tongue firmly in cheek, deliciously abstract and a claim that is testament to the dark humour layered throughout the story.
Thank You For Smoking has a wit which is unquestionably infectious - one of 2006's best comedies, and safe to say a "must-buy" on DVD. ...

And so the story unfolds... and this is a particularly excellent story. It's an inventive concept and results ... ...those who aren't fans of Ferrell as the balls-out comedian of his more advertised films, then you might find yourself drawn to this side of him. As Harold, he perfectly toes the line between the deadpan banalities of his life and the spontaneous outbursts that come from his situation. He lends the character a certain amount of endearment with his awkwardness, and this is the film's real strong point. It hinges on the likeability of Ferrell's character, ...
