    I thought the movie was terrific. ...great satire, and I felt that Nick's affection for his son was proved with the ultimate decision to turn his back on the tobacco industry without compromising his commitment to lobbying. I loved the fact that his son won the debating award as a result of the positive teaching of his father not to accept info. w/o questioning it.
