The Oswego Film Group will present THANK YOU FOR SMOKING (2005, Rated R) on Wednesday, July 12th at 7PM at the Oswego Cinema 7. Tickets ($6.50 general, $4.50 seniors) will be available at the Oswego Cinema 7 Box Office the day of the event.
Synopsis: Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the chief spokesman for Big Tobacco, who makes his living defending the rights of smokers and cigarette makers in today's neo-puritanical culture. Confronted by health zealots out to ban tobacco and an opportunistic senator (William H. Macy) who wants to put poison labels on cigarette packs, Nick goes on a PR offensive, spinning away the dangers of cigarettes on TV talk shows and enlisting a Hollywood super-agent (Rob Lowe) to promote smoking in movies. Nick's newfound notoriety attracts the attention of both Tobacco's head honcho (Robert Duvall) and an investigative reporter for an influential Washington daily (Katie Holmes). Nick says he is just doing what it takes to pay the mortgage, but he begins to think about how his work makes him look in the eyes of his young son Joey (Cameron Bright).
