Another Overrated Mess

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2009)

I'd really love to see a "professional" critic, give a good film a good review. Up In The Air is a...mess. In every definition of the word.
The story is borderline pointless, the acting is terrible, and the direction is amateur.
I'll stick with the acting. George Clooney literally is sleepwalking in this movie. Does he even bother to change his accent or mannerisms for a role, or does he think we'll believe anything his horrible self does? Vera Famiga is doing the only good acting in the film. But, her role is pretty worthless, and she gets forgettable in the black hole that is this movie.
And finally, Anna Kendrick. She is HORRIBLE. Her performance is so BAAD, she deserves a Razzie this year. Her accent is uneven (one scene she sounds like she's from Canada), when she cries she looks ridiculous, and finally she doesn't even seem smart enough to play something like this.
Just please, do yourself a favor and don't believe the hype that is this movie.
