Oh dear
An absolute masterpiece - go out and watch it!
Having already watched 'Thank You for Smoking' and 'Juno' (Both of which I would highly recommend by the way) I was already fully aware of what a brilliant director Jason Reitman is and once again he didn't disappoint. 'Up in The Air' is funny, engaging, witty, clever, sexy and just has that crucial element that nobody has yet found a word for, but which separates the truly great films from the simply good ones. As usual, Reitman has cast the perfect actor to front the film along with a brilliant supporting cast. Whether you're seeing it with your partner, friend or just on your own you can't help but be engaged by how good the writing, production and acting is. It's no wonder that this film is up for so many awards.
I'm not going to waste anymore of your time selling this film because frankly it doesn't need it. Go out and watch it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
