Up in the Air clip

After screening UP IN THE AIR at TIFF, Chris Bumbray gave the movie an excellent 9/10.

His review actually made me more interested in the project from director Jason Reitman (JUNO, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING). George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham who has the ballsy job of flying from city to city firing workers because their own bosses can’t do it themselves. Bingham has been quite accustomed to the perks of the job, like meeting gorgeous women (Vera Farmiga). Unfortunately his fun ride is threatened by his jerk-off boss Craig Gregory (Jason Bateman), when he hires youngster IT expert Natalie (Anna Kendrick) who suggests streaming video conferencing to replace Bingham’s position.

The clip displays the usual Clooney charisma and Kendrick plays very well off of it. Her last line actually made my day.
