"Witt's character is a nonsmoker who smokes amateurishly a couple of times while in the depths of depression after a string of setbacks in love and career, and looks like she hates it. Langton smokes vigorously throughout, switching back and forth between regular white cigarettes and Mores, all of which sounds better than it plays, for some reason -- indifferent lighting and quick cutting detract from the fun."

Alicia Witt - Info - "In the newly released film, [Playing Mona Lisa (2000)] currently showing in Berkeley theaters, the teenage star Alicia Witt refuses a cigarette from her close friend, noting that she doesn't smoke. Her friend convinces her that Alicia should smoke since she is depressed because smoking is comforting. With this encouragement the star lights up. This film gives the wrong message to youth to smoke for comfort when they feel depressed.", website, Dec. 20, '00
