Anyone else really like this movie?

Not a lot really happens in the movie, it's just really well written and has a great cast.

Yeah, I've watched it a few times. Partially because of Kendrick and Farmiga, but the script itself is pretty good and it's a nice relaxing watch.

I enjoyed this one a lot. Good story, enjoyed Clooney and Kendrick and Farmiga. All did amazing. This was the first movie I really noticed Kendrick, then 50/50. I think she got accolades?

Voted 19th best film released in 2010 by my circle of friends (I had it in 9th place). Benefitting from a lack of consensus, the winner that year was the marvelously strange The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans.

I think about Up in the Air from time to time because of the scene where Farmiga's character, asked by Kendrick's what she wants in a man, answers "A nice smile." I never watched the movie again since then, so this memory might be inaccurate.

EDIT : memory still works ok
