GamerTab That was an excellent one.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

betty dalton The strangest thing happened to me while watching this movie: I started to like this character, who fires people for a living. Garbage men get more respect, but Clooney pulled it off and made this coldhearted manager's character likeable, while in real life I should have loathed such a manager, who fires people for a living. Lots of praise for the direction by Jason Reitman, because he achieved to make a melancholic feel good picture about a subject that is just depressing: firing people. Everything is smooth about this picture. Endearingly, funny smooth. Just a lovely melancholic romantic comedy mixed into a depresing story about firing people.Acting is terrific. Really subtle. The funny and endearing characters got my sympathy, although all of the characters were rather selfish and superficial. Still I really liked and understood them in the end. Great role by Anna Kendrick. This movie might seem like an innocent story about Clooney flirting with stewardesses while travelling the country for his job, but there is a lot more to it. It really gives a warmhearted message about the pros and cons of commitment in a relationship. Touching, funny and true to life portrait of a loner who is in doubt wether he wants to settle down and have a family... Will he or wont he?Gorgeous soundtrack. Mesmirizing photography and very impressive editing.It is truly a splendid gem. I think it is director Reitman's best work.

benibn So sick movie, with well-known actors do it even worse.

serafinogm Multinational companies have no loyalties, not to nations, not to people, just to the bottom line! Those who "manage" these multinational sociopathic organizations pillage what they can so they never have to "work" again (e.g. Jack Welch)! This movie aptly demonstrates that the business model of the day (the neo-feudal model) cares not where they get their workers nor do they care where they get their customers, they just want to keep the elite happy while the managing sub-elite take what they can (e.g. stock options they can exercise for zero dollars) doing what they must to remain in power so they can plunder what they can for as long as they can! It's a race to the bottom for the 98% and an orgy of gluttony for the top 2%! The rest of us are or have become serfs or worse slaves and we bend over take our severance packages (if any at all) and roll over like the good dogs we are! Great movie for exposing this reality! Anna learn how to cry convincingly, that attempt was pathetic! There is a scene with Vera and George that grabs one's attention and George had little to do with it!

WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerGeorge Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, and Jason Bateman all perform well. The story has a good mix of drama, comedy, and romance. The pacing can be a little slow, but the good acting helps push it through.The runtime is a little bit overlong but the ending does have some power behind it.Pros: Good acting, the mixture between drama, comedy, and romance are fluid, and a powerful endingCons: Overlong runtime and slow pacingOverall Rating: 7.2/10
