So last night we saw Up in the Air. I was a little worried, since no one would tell me anything about what this film was about. It turns out it is a character study on one man's life (Clooney). How this man has made his world just what he wants it to be. He has everything he wants and excludes everything he doesn't. But the turn, though it happens quickly, in the movie comes when he changes his mind and he can't have what he wants.
I really liked the concept of this story, following one person's journey and all, but it fell flat a few times. Clooney held the show together with his charming smile and distanced stance, and the supporting cast was great. I particularly enjoyed the "regular Joes" who graced the screen with their bad news.
Overall this movie earned a Rice Cakes and Peanut Butter rating with a swig of Gatorade.
