George Clooney stars as Ryan Bingham, a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and after he's met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.
George Clooney's never been better than he is in "Up in the Air," the depressingly relevant third film from writer/director Jason Reitman, based on the novel by Walter Kirn. I've seen "Up in the Air" listed as a comedy and while there are laughs in it, I would never lump it in that genre.
"Up in the Air" writer/director Jason Reitman pulled off an interviewing first, doing something no other director has ever done during my nine years of interviewing filmmakers. Reitman started off our interview by saying he wished I'd hated his movie.

Anne Kendrick may be recognized by millions of females worldwide as Jessica in the "Twilight" film series, but it's her starring role opposite George Clooney in "Up in the Air" that's attracting serious awards attention.
Jason Reitman's third film earned a spot on my Top 10 Movies of 2009 list.
