Rent Up in the Air (2009)

Fascinating insight into downsizers - Up in the Air review by CP Customer

Although the jet set lifestyle portrayed by Clooney seemed attractive I found the job he did to be fascinating enough to look up the research the film makers did. The workers being fired were all based on real people and their feelings when it happened. Their words in the closing credits are genuine accounts. Up In The Air was originally a book, and both it and the film give insights into the disconnect between corporate personnel management and the staff being managed. The words and scripts Clooney uses will be familiar to anyone who has worked in a big organisation. The concept of a professional firer doing the dirty work seems at odds with Clooney's charming manner, which just makes it all the more horrifying.

Full of Surprise - Up in the Air review by CP Customer

Pleasantly surprised by the "independant" feel to this film. Didn't expect too much from it thus exceeded all my expectations of a "cloony" film.

A really excellent comedy with some profound moments - Up in the Air review by CD

This film really exceeded my expectations. Excellent casting in all the roles and great acting by Clooney in particular. The storyline moves along well and at no stage compromises the characters. Clooney's character remains quite inscrutable throughout but the onion is peeled sufficiently for one to be able to glimpse what drives him (beyond the air-miles). A really worthwhile film that leaves you thinking.

Feel good film, interesting - Up in the Air review by CP Customer

Feel good film with interesting, original story line. Love George anyway. Quite sad undertone to this story line.

Worth watching - Up in the Air review by CP Customer

Having chosen this film as it had been Oscar nominated I suppose I could say that I was disappointed. Clooney is good, but the has a depressing existence throughout the film, which although it is touched on, he didn't have a big enough epiphany for me. Great aerial shots of the US in this, although the story lacks a bit of depth.

Average - Up in the Air review by CP Customer

After reading reviews I was a bit disappointed with this film. Plotline was quite sombre and predictable I thought but still quite enjoyable to watch as acting performances were great.

Air Today, Gone Tomorrow. - Up in the Air review by KG

Forgettable, easy watch of a film.

If you want to learn how to get through airport security in an efficient manner, this is the film for you!!

Apart from that we follow Ryans life, living out of his suitcase and the relationships that are made, however fleetingly as he journeys through his work life.

Not a must watch by any means, but if you like Clooney, or just want an easy film to watch, it could suit your needs.
