Movie #94........................."Up in the Air" is a smart romantic comedy (one of my favorite genres) so I found it thoroughly enjoyable. The only reason for the 4 stars is the one or two questionable things that happen to propel the story to the end that are tough to believe. Otherwise, I found the "His Girl Friday" witty banter a welcome in comparison to the silly dialogue still ringing in my ears from "Hangover" the night before. It's the dialogue, editing, and charismatic acting by the three leads (and throw in Jason Bateman, as well) that put this film well ahead of the rest for this genre.
Average rating: 3.966
I gave it 4 stars
Up in the Air
(2009) R
Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) racks up major miles flying around the country firing employees on behalf of companies. But he faces losing the job he savors to Natalie Keener (Anna Kendrick) -- and losing the ability to escape emotional ties to anything. A connection he builds with Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga), however, might change his outlook on the future. Jason Reitman's smart comedy also stars Jason Bateman as Bingham's boss, Craig.
