Nice Clooney Film but over-acted and over-rated

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2010)

I suspect most people will disagree with me but I found this film to be slow and generally boring, there was little acting in it for me and i don't find it a challenging role for George Clooneys acting ability, unlike in Burn after Reading and men who Stare at Goats, even Michael Clayton. As for the directing, not sure what to make of it cos I really liked the Juno movie.
I know what its like Tobe e out of work, fired and to fire someone, we can all relate to the role play within this film both from the work standpoint and from the relationship standpoint as well also as the 'flying' standpoint.
The title of the film carries a triple meaning - to do with flying too much, to be uncertain about relationships so 'up in the air' and to be up there when you re out of work.
The idealology of the film is terrific, I just don't think it delivers and I might go along that Tom Cruise opr even Brad Pitt would have been better suited to the role than dear Mr Clooney who seems to want to grab all these types of roles for himself these days.
Will be a travesty if Clooney wins Oscar for best actor. This film is very over-rated, slow to take-off, slow to land, predictable in many ways, not enough punch lines for a dramatic comedy .
Even though boring, it IS enjoyable but I enjoyed Cloonety in 'Goats' so much more and Juno was definitely funnier. Maybe this film was aimed at a specific American audience, it just didn't deliver for me, sorry folks.
