I consider this one of the best movies of 2009, and its high up my list of best movies of the decade. It seems this movie came at a perfect time when all over the world but the United States especially people were getting laid off and tens of thousands of people had to look for a new job. George Clooney plays the man who doesn't want to settle down and he found the perfect job to do it. He flies around America to fire people. While other people just wanna go as fast as possible from point a to b and see the airport as necessarily annoyance he enjoys every second of it. He has a lifestyle that sounds very appealing to me, no complicated relations, job or stuff that holds you down. Just go everywhere you want without thinking about what you leave behind. Interesting fact: The director Jason Reitman put up an ad in a newspaper asking for anyone who recently got fired to speak about that experience. He told them it was for a documentary. So some of the people we see in the movie are people who actually got fired from their jobs and give a genuine answer to what they said when they were told they were getting fired and what they think is still important in their life.

" Let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing." Yes, wait what? That's the emotional tone of the movie, once it is convinced into something and then lets you question it when you're convinced. It's more of a life lesson than Rom-com. Ending is what I liked most, it is what happens in real life. Once you start believing in something, that belief kills you. Walter Kirn in his book & Jason Reitman succeeded in showing it in movie. It masterfully explores themes of loneliness, corporate downsizing, and the elusive nature of human connection in the modern world. It's a journey of self-discovery, or perhaps, self re-discovery, that makes you think what truly matters. All the actors were excellent on their part. Their way of conveying emotions was just so soothing. A great movie overall, the feelings, the emotions, the happiness, the sadness, the love, the heartbreaks everything. It has that feeling good vibe throughout, engages you and then the sad, real ending breaks you.

Not what I was expecting before I started watching, but quickly became very predictable. This is one of the most depressing films I've ever seen. It was no fun, and there are no likeable characters.

loved it and loved the cast

This is the key phrase of the movie - "If you think about it, your favorite memories, the most important moments in your life... were you alone?"
