Cast: Aaron Eckhart, Katie Holmes, William H Macy
Director: Jason Reitman

An amusing story of a Tobacco Lobbyist Nick Naylor played by Aaron Eckhart whose job it is to change peoples minds about the perils of smoking. Nick loves his job and does it well manipulating the media and anti smokers. William H Macy plays the crunchy Vermont senator who wants to put poison labels on all cigarette packs, has Nick finally met his match? Nicks life is quickly turned around when he meets the beatiful news reporter Heather Holloway (Katie Holmes). Rumor has it Tom cruise had the producers delete a topless scene of Katie Holmes, too bad.
Maria Bello and David Koechner put in good performances as Nicks only friends and evil spinmasters. Aaron Eckhart makes his character likeable even when being despised and makes some valid arguments when trying to explain to his son played by Cameron Bright why he does what he does. A fun movie even though I hate smoking.
