This is a smartly cynical comedy that fictionally answers a question I’ve long had: how exactly do people in socially unacceptable lines of work live with themselves? More specifically, this movie documents the spin-doctor personality behind a tobacco industry PR guy. Namely, his job is to minimize smoking’s negative image and even claim that being anti-smoking is anti-business and hence anti-American.
Here’s a light snack respite from the bad movie celebration for — a new bad movie. Well, not super-bad, just dull and predictably boring. Which is a shame, because one of the film’s highlights is Catherine Zeta-Jones with a dab of tiramisu on her lips. It’s a simple romantic comedy based on the German film Mostly Martha (which I haven’t seen).
