This one's for single guys

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 2010)

There are all sorts of reasons why guys stay single, and this movie will provide you with one of those. Clooney is good. He's more than just female eye candy. There's an air of reserved confidence he's mastered and portrays well on screen. Anna Kendrick...well, not so good. She's more than great in everything else I've seen her in, and this performance may only be a hiccup for her. Oddly enough, it may be Vera Farmiga's excellent work in the supporting female role that overshadows Kendrick.
Overall, this movie hits home. It could hit you even harder if you're a single male. The movie dives deep into the day-to-day activities of Clooney's character, Ryan Bingham. Even given the name of the movie, you'll never guess what the story will be, and it twists enough to stay interesting.
To sum it up, although being great in its own right for today, Up in the Air may not stick with you for a lifetime, therefore, scores only a 7 out of 10. Otherwise, it hit me in the gut like no movie has in awhile.
