This movie is very adult. Not how you're thinking, there were no overly explicit scenes or horrible language, it was really wasn't bad in that way at all. It was adult in the topics that it dealt with. Unemployment, marriage, just life in general, things that will probably only interest you if you are above a certain age. That being said, it was a fantastic movie. It was smart, it wasn't too sing songy, not everything worked out as planned, but it wasn't depressing. Basically, Ryan Bingham, (played really well by George Clooney) has a tough job. He travels the country, firing people of various companies, so the boss doesn't have to. This being a high travel job, he lives in the air. Not literally, but he is constantly traveling, always at an airport, in an airplane, or in a hotel. And he is constantly racking up miles, trying to reach a certain milestone. 


It was funny but definitely was a serious movie. And it was definitely a good movie, but you wouldn't be doing any sort of horrible injustice by waiting for this movie to come to On Demand or DVD. If you think this is your kind of movie, and it deals with stuff that pertains to your "age" than for sure check this movie out. Otherwise, I suggest waiting a little while. Oh and just something to help you make your decision, Jason Reitman, the director also directed (and wrote) Juno and Thank You For Smoking. This movie has a similar feel, but not really too much in common with the other two besides that. I liked Up in the Air more than Thank you for smoking, but I liked Juno far more. I guess it just has to do with the whole "age" thing.
