It was lame

Rating: 3/10 (17 January 2010)

I went to this movie because it was recommended in the reviews as a 5 out of 5 but I was sorely disappointed. This movie has turned me off George Clooney, perhaps that is a bonus as it might be more realistic. I used to think that he was sexy but I spent most of this movie huddled in a corner because it made me feel so bad and disconnected. The best moment was when the younger woman finally dares to criticize his life as they are taking a picture of his sister against a background of water and he ends up in the water. And when he finally as a classic romantic story part runs to get the woman he realises he loves and it turns out she has been playing but also has a REAL LIFE. The woman up to then seemed the ideal male fantasy but this is the 2000s and it is now an end to the impossible male fantasies a la James Bond as they are SO last millennium. Those 2 moments caused me to give the movie more than a 1 for score as I was actually laughing or found it a great point in the story. But the rest : LAME An endless boring sequence of more people to fire, and at the end he is still flying round up in the air. SAD. I needed some Santa movies to recover from this one.
