Thanks to a good friend of mine, I got to see 'Up in the air' today at a pre-premiere screening. I did not know what to expect, as I've heard good stuff about it, but never saw the trailer or read any plot or story lines.
Turns out it's pretty fucking awesome! George Clooney travels the land (United States, obviously) and fires people. Not a funny job. But Clooney portrays this guy as someone you would like, someone you could like. Reitman-favorites J.K. Simmons and Jason Bateman have smaller parts but play them to a perfection. The real star of the show is Anna Kendrick, the up-and-coming hot-shot of the company, who joins Clooney's character on the road to learn the ropes of the business. Good actress with lots of potential. As for All-Star Clooney, he nails his character to perfection without it being unrealistic (I guess that's what good actors do?).
Definetely worth the price of admission, and a movie that is both funny, thoughtful and (unfortunately) very current in its topic. Go see.
