Predictable romcom with boring one-liners

Rating: 1/10 (30 November 2009)

George Cloney plays the middle-aged loner Ryan who feels most at home while traveling by flight all over the world. One day a young promising female employee, Natalie, starts working at the firm where Ryan works. The firm is specialized in helping other companies telling workers that they have been let go. The young naive Natalie presents a different approach towards the technique in firing people. Her revolutionary idea is to use the internet when letting people go. This is something Ryan is not approving. He is old school and likes to meet the people getting fired in person when giving them the sad news.
Naturally the head chief of the firm introduces the idea that Natalie should accompany Ryan on one of his firing trips.
While traveling Ryan learns from Natalie and other people in his surrounding that his way of life in solitude are not the way people are meant to live their lives. People are meant to live in heterosexual togetherness and share the wonders of life in partnership. Natalie learns that downsizing is not a clinical issue that can be handled over the internet. The movie is therefor lecturing moral and Christian values in absurd-um.
The movie also follows a traditional romcom framework with no surprises and the depth of the movie are as deep as dried up pond.
The movie's script are filled with pointless one-liners that aren't even funny.
This is a traditional American Hollywood production that have been made so many times before and this is really a pointless film. See something else.
