Bless the poor souls...

hmmm I'm a bit confused right now cos I may be posting this review for the wrong movie. This one is about Up In the Air, starring George Clooney. I have a feeling this is not the same film that most other reviewers saw.
This one is about a corporate American dude whose job is to basically tell people they are fired, in a way that leads to as little drama as possible. Apparently it's a job that pays pretty well, and also requires him to travel around the country from firm to firm. Now of course this lifestyle isn't really conducive to having a settled family and kids - unless you are interested in living a dual life - one on the road and one at home.
OK, so does this film tell you anything you don't already know? Nope, nada. Fair enough, but there are many classy movies without an interesting message that can still entertain you for 2 hours. Is this one of those? Not a chance. Nothing and nobody interesting or engaging.
Work sucks. Working as a professional in America sucks big time - in the air or on the ground.
If I had a job like that, I'd be with a different woman every night. One needs their escape.
3 out of 10 and I'm in a generous mood.
