Funny, caustic and cynical tale (Reitman having adapted political satirist Christopher Buckley's 1994 novel) of lobbyists, made with lively wit and imagination. Aaron Eckhart is good as the tobacco lobbyist who doesn't really come under the influence of his son Cameron Bright. With J.K.Simmons, Katie Holmes, William H Macy, Robert Duvall, Rob Lowe and Sam Elliott, who Reitman likes to use in small but significant roles. The alcohol and gun lobbyists are played by Maria Bello and David Koechner.
Music: Rolfe Kent; camera: Jim Whitaker; editing: Dana Glauberman.
