Review of Up in the Air (2009) by Shawn W — 25 Oct 2012
Only a hand full of times will a box tell you everything you need to know about a film and get it right. Say no more. You can actually deeply get the just of this picture by reading the back cover. It is all too often that the clichéd version of a drama/comedy starts out dark and works its way to silly in a half hour.
I have never seen a movie that transitions so well from genre to genre without giving you that cheep ass Hallmark feeling like you just changed the channel from HBO to Lifetime to Nickelodeon in that fast of a sequence.
I am quickly becoming a fan of Jason Reitman's directorial eye for real life. The hardest thing to do is put those quirky moments we experiance at work and make them understandable as well funny for the common idiot as well as the intellectual.
Not an easy task. I would recommend this movie to anyone, for it is truly one of those films that does actually have a little something for everyone. As well as live up to those sometimes bullshit reviews and quotes from the back cover of a DVD.
