I learned alot!
I watched this movie afterschool in my government class. After watching the movie we were required to write a paper about how the movie simulated lobbyists from the real thing. Very knowledgable!

indie classic
this is a hilarious film but not for your kids because they could pick up smoking lol. the reason it is funny is because it is sooooooo politically incorrect and shows how every thing we do has to be politically correct , but for that reason it is not saying sorry or I didn't mean it because it does and that is why it is a classic

Talk to your kids
This is a great vehicle for discussing critical thinking and healthy skepticism with your children, once they have the appropriate maturity level to see deeply enough into the characters. Why is this person saying what he is saying?
I really don't care about the language or the smoking. Low, self-destructive behavior is all around us. We choose to participate or we don't. Another good discussion point.

Avoid at all costs!
For some reason, the makers of this movie thought it was necessary to use a sex scene to create a message about tobacco lobbyists.
I never watched the entire movie, since I found it so horribly offensive.
Although it is a very interesting subject, I would not recommend it to anybody under 18, if not older.

Not that great, but...
I didn't think this was really that solid a movie. The joke (sin promoters completely aware of how evil they are) just wasn't big enough to sustain the whole time allotted. But reasonably sophisticated teens should be able to get that it is SATIRE, people. Give the kids some credit!
