Romantic but maybe not what you are expecting - Up in the Air review by DB
I did like this film. It portrays a sort of lifestyle and shows that perhaps all that glitters is not gold after all.
George Clooney is very good in this movie and it's a must for fans. He has a good counterpart in his flirtation and also there is some redemption to his character which is nice.
Whether you will be happy with the ending I will leave you to find out. I left feeling a little sad for his character but overall I enjoyed the movie and it was watchable.

hard work - Up in the Air review by tup
Slow and rather tiresome, plot was weak and somewhat strange, a waste of Clooneys talent and the opening filming techniques were hard on the eyes.

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.
