The first movie I saw in 2010 was Up In The Air. Great beginning, really depressing and terrible ending. My advice is, don't bother. If you must, Netflix or Redbox it - and if you have to see it in the theater, go to a matinee. Seriously. My friend TG warned me about it, and I should have listened, but my infatuation with all things Clooney won out.
George Clooney is great - it's a good role for him, and he's of course eye candy to the nth degree.
Vera Farmiga is always lovely to watch - however, I think she hit up the Botox or filler. Her lips look weird, and her face is puffy and lineless.
The scenes at the Cheshire and Fox & Hound were bittersweet, for a couple reasons. I got engaged there on NYE in 2004, and it would have been fitting to see Mark Pollman behind the bar doling out his eclectic advice. I really miss him.
The multiple shots of Lambert made me laugh - I heard that they filmed so much of the movie here because there was NEVER ANYONE IN THE AIRPORT. Great - that kind of press St. Louis doesn't need.
All in all, a let down. I don't believe the movie deserves any nominations, but Clooney and Farmiga might.
