Up in the Air is a transporting comedy that takes the viewer through a turbulent romance, the tops and turns of a cratering economy and takes George Clooney, playing Ryan Bingham, on the ride of his life. Ryan's job is to fire people from their jobs which causes him to travel back and forth all the time. He has a very sterile apartment in Omaha, Nebraska but is very rarely home because of his high traveling job. When firing people from their jobs Clooney explains to them that this is just an opportunity for them to grow and make the best out of their lives. The movie is very flight forward, flying you from city to city watching Ryan Bingham fire many people. Natalie(Anna Kendrick) comes into the film about halfway through where she dismisses Ryan calling his style of firing people old and not modern.
The movie was very good and created a very flightful feeling. The appearance of actual workers being laid-off made the idea of recession more personal. The twist at the end was executed very well and left you thinking and talking about the movie after.

Sydney I like the fact that you made the review short and sweet. How you explained the main character and what his job was, was nice. Yet I think that you should have used fewer words on explaining the guy and maybe more on explaining the woman who came in mid way through. I have not personally seen the movie but the review you wrote has definitely made me interested in finding out the ending.
