Review of Up in the Air (2009) by Patrick K — 27 Apr 2014
"Up in the Air" has already received hype for Best Pic and glowing reviews for Clooney's character, Ryan Bingham (probably all chicks!---J/k!). Actually Clooney does a GREAT job in his role as a hatchet man who fires people at the same rate his frequent flyer miles accrue astronomical numbers.
You'll love this movie if know the difference between a Hertz Gold card and a Hilton Honors Silver membership. Yes, this movie falls into the "Chick Flick" category but it's definitely not a lame, Matthew McConaughey sleep-fest for 1 -hour and 49 minutes. Clooney keeps the action and fired employees moving from city to city. You'll laugh throughout and get a few surprises in the plot line.
R-rating for a few F-bombs at the beginning of the movie, a short naked scene of costar Vera Farmiga, and some sexual innuendo via SEXT messaging.
This movie is 100% Clooney, but giving him a run for his big-screen face time is American Airlines, the subliminal best supporting actor of the movie.
So sit-back, lower your tray table and enjoy this movie ride. And feel those straps from the backpack start to get heavier and heavier into your shoulder blades.
Grade: B+.
