I like all kinds of documentaries so I see a lot that are abysmal. This one in particular definitely falls into the 'abysmal' category.
I'm only giving this movie 1 star because I can't give 0 stars, or less than 0 stars (if that was a rating that was possible). A more misandrist (read: man-hating) display I have not seen since...
Good characters and very close to a real mens club, cigar club. However at the precise moment that punk shot at that weak door he was have felt as if he was in front of a Russian firing squad if he tried this our club.
This is my revenge for having wasted 88 minutes of my life watching this film, but I tell you right now that some guys in the audience thought it was a knee slapper and laughed hard. The opening credits are beautifully shot, and the end credits are equally pleasing.
I saw the new film "Blowing Smoke" at it's premier in LA on April 21st, and I absolutely loved it! I am a avid cigar smoker which is why I was first drawn to the movie, but the movie is really about life ...
I saw "Blowing Smoke" in Los Angeles and had some good laughs - it's a dark comedy that moves along quickly and dives irreverently into the battle between the sexes - there are some very funny situations during a late night poker game among these "cigars buddies" - when a sexy girl in distress seeks shelter from her crazy boyfriend at their poker game - they take her in and vow to protect her - each one tries to impress her with his money and connections to get into her pants - it becomes a competition among the "cigar buddies" and gets a little out of control when they start backstabbing each other to be with her - her boyfriend shows up and it gets further out of control.
I wasn't sure what to expect of this film, but was extremely pleasantly surprised to find it raw, humorous, and all too real. The performances are generally good, with Sean Michael Allen (aka Sean Barnes, as Eric) and Lennie Loftin particular stand-outs.
I finally got the opportunity to see this movie and was pleasantly surprised by the turn of events. As a woman, I was finally prepared to be shocked and horrified by the promised misogynistic tone of the six male characters and what they had to say.
I recently attended a screening of Blowing Smoke in LA. I enjoyed the film very much.
