Up In The Air

This has been up for a bunch of awards lately, so I was dying to check it out. It's a very simple story and everything is under-stated and REAL. George Clooney is about to be removed from his life of endless travel because of soon-to-be-implemented online procedures, and he's none too happy about it. After complaining about all this, his boss sends him out with the new rookie to show her the ropes before they start up the new online system of firing people (which he uses as an opportunity to show her how the new system won't work). On the way he meets and falls in love with another constant traveler, which only manages to change his life even more. Throughout the movie, you feel the transition he goes through as though it's happening to you, when he's devastated, embarrassed, or ridiculously happy you feel it too (which is one quality in movies that is extremely hard to accomplish, in my opinion.) I liked it and would recommend it - check it out!
