Was a letdown, VERY disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2010)

Christmas weekend, visiting with family. My husband, son and I decided to go see Up in the Air since it has been tagged at "best movie of the year"! It had George Clooney in it, which I thought meant that it had to at least be watchable. Do not waste your time or money. We were "hornwswaggled"! Watching this movie was like watching paint dry. I'll start with what I did like: I have to say that the acting and character development were EXCELLENT. George Clooney is a fine actor and he is very easy on the eyes. The two lead women were excellent and developed their characters completely. What I did not like was the story. It was just a story of everyday living about a guy who travels all the time for business. When the movie was over I looked at my family and we all just shrugged our shoulders. It was just OK. Had it not been for the terrific acting, it would have been a real snoozer! Certainly not even close for "movie of the year".
