"Your position is no longer available."

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2010)

Ryan Bingham's (George Clooney) job is to fly around the country and fire people for companies who don't want to do it themselves. He likes his work and his life, which is uncomplicated by relationships or domestic demands. On one stop-over, however, Ryan meets a female version of himself (Vera Farmiga) and sparks fly.
The success of this movie must be due entirely to the charm of its leading man, because it is in no other way unusual or special. Clooney is indeed quite likable playing a handsome, confident, smooth-talker while Farmiga is good in an undemanding role (but not worthy of an Oscar nomination, in my opinion). The plot is pleasant enough, but hardly memorable, so I don't understand all the hype. It was just okay for me.
