UP IN THE AIR(2009)
Not a laugh-out-loud type of movie, but it is quite a pleasent
little diversion!! George does a very good job here, as does
everyone else! Worth a watch every once in awhile! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) is a professional hatchet man
who fires people as a job. He is an expert flyer who gives
lectures about how to pack for travel. He's good at his job
and his most joyful goal is to attain ten million frequent
flyer miles. He meets his perfect flying partner Alex Goran
(Vera Farmiga) at an airport bar. He deliberately avoids
a personal life and his spartan apartment. His sister wants
him to photograph a cutout of his niece and her fiancée at
different places for their upcoming wedding. Natalie Keener
(Anna Kendrick) is a new hire with a new way to fire people
by telecommunication. Bingham is dismayed at the proposal.
His boss Craig Gregory (Jason Bateman) forces him to show
Keener the ropes.
Clooney and Farmiga have a fun cerebral chemistry. They
flirt well together. It's too bad that they can't be on
screen more often. Kendrick is great at playing the uptight
cute girl. She has a good fun mentor relationship with
Clooney. It has some funny moments. The best is when the
three leads finally get together. Kendrick in that scene
is hilarious. Jason Reitman deftly handles these three
characters beautifully. I'm not as enamored with the
wedding section. It comes after Kendrick having such great
scenes and then she's gone. Farmiga is back but the
wedding takes too much attention away from her. The
movie reaches a high point with the three leads coming
together. I think the movie should have kept up that
pace and the wedding took some of the steam out. - SnoopyStyle
