Up in the Air

Smartly written dialogue highlights this Oscar-nominated, poignant, sadly realistic, cameo-dotted (Sam Elliott, J. K. Simmons, Danny McBride, Zach Galifianakis, Melanie Lynskey, et al.) film in a which perk-coveting, miles-junkie, frequent-flying loner ax man (George Clooney), who moonlights giving canned, shallow, and hollow motivational speeches, is forced by his boss (Jason Bateman) in Omaha to travel across the country with and to defend his firing tactics to a young, up-and-coming hatchet woman (Anna Kendrick) while simultaneously questioning his nomadic lifestyle after meeting a likeminded businesswoman (Vera Farmiga).
