One Scene Cost This Film Major Awards

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2019)

This is a well made movie. It was released in 2009 during the start of the great rescission.
In this movie an idea from a young, new co-worker (Anna Kendrick) would put an end to the constant travel of corporate hatchet man Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), so he takes her on a tour to demonstrate the importance of face-to-face meetings with those they must fire. While mentoring his colleague, he arranges hookups with another frequent-flier (Vera Farmiga), and his developing feelings for the woman prompt him to see others in a new light.
There is a scene near the end that is not needed. Its a scene in the car with George Clooney on the phone. Its overkill and I think that is what caused this film to lose out on major awards.
