COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Terrific movie submitted by carterrn on August 28, 2010, 2:29pm George Clooney's character, Ryan Bingham, is appealing yet slightly cold. Bingham's quest to reach his 10 million frequent flyer miles is intertwined with his business assignments of telling corporation employees across the country that they must be let go. The movie offers an interesting perspective during these times of economic recession. By the end of the movie, you observe Bingham become a warmer individual as he deals with the realities of his career and the relationships he develops throughout.

sAD submitted by Judeyblu on June 29, 2015, 8:57pm This came out the year I lost my job at Borders.
I've wanted to see it for a while but it just had too many sad memories.
After watching it it reminded me, oddly, or About Schmidt.
A moody movie that left me feeling wistful.

A Pleasant Surprise submitted by Meginator on July 5, 2017, 11:36am I thought this movie was going to be a lot different than it was, and found it surprisingly easy to watch and even endearing. George Clooney is unsurprisingly excellent in the lead role and makes Ryan Bingham come to life; his convincing portrayal of Bingham's evolution is essential to the film. This is an award-winner that is worth watching, even if it is a bit short on action.

Up in the air submitted by leenajong on August 11, 2017, 2:00pm George Clooney is the magnet for this movie.

Good submitted by ferielp on August 11, 2017, 8:40pm It was a unique career they depicted, and a fresh story. I love Anna Kendrick, but of all her performances this doesn't stand out as especially Oscar nomination worthy.

Great film submitted by KOH on August 12, 2017, 7:51pm I thought this was crafted so well. The aesthetic and tone were fun, and the acting performances wonderful.
