Fun in the fumes

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2002)

In many ways this is a delightfully off the wall film using creative and novel script and production techniques. But I was angered and repelled by the constant and pointless smoking! Okay, cigarettes have a slight role in the plot because Bridget tries to quit. But in a world where almost nobody smokes, it seems that EVERYBODY in this film smokes. There are numerous other product placements in this movie. Can we assume that the tobacco industry also paid big bucks to promote its vile product. I gave the film a 7. Were it not for the smoking, it would have been a 9!
