thank you for smoking

during the hour that went by since I came home from this movie, I have forgotten most of it. it was undoubtedly pleasant, about half as enjoyable as watching the previews for it, which were fantastic and included most of the good lines and the story line, such as there was one. the premise was cute and so was the movie, but all of these actors have done the same thing before only better: Cameron Bright gave me the chills in Running Scared and that awful movie, Birth; Aaron Eckhardt will never surpass his work in In the Company of Men, no matter how many times he is cast as an asshole (despite a very notable attempt in Nurse Betty); Katie Holmes has had so many better roles (Go, Abandon, Wonder Boys). it's great to see a bunch of familiar faces and reminisce about other movies. highlights of this one: Rob Lowe in a Japanese kimono at 4am; Adam Brody as Seth Cohen on crack. you will leave this movie craving a cigarette and a slice of apple pie topped with American cheese, even if you are an unpatriotic, non-smoking vegan.
