Great movie. Good cast that had a lot of chemistry together. Surprising amount of well known people who have cameos. I love young and aspiring Anna Kendrick, before she started singing.

An eye-opening story about life and its facets, what it means to be happy and what to be without purpose, a story about how at times, we're so sure of holding life in our hand, only to discover there was nothing in there to begin with; in short, how meaningless can life be when we convince ourselves of not being fragile human creatures. We can remain up in the air all of our lives, and it can be beautiful to look at the clouds, to watch down and feel greater than all those people down there -but we can fall any moment. And when we fall, if we don't have somebody to catch us, -or rather, a co-pilot to save us- maybe we will have wasted our lives only in the air, never really having our feet on the ground.

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.

There's two movies going on in here. The movie hooks you with its efficiency vs effectivity debate as personified by the characters played by Clooney en Kendrick. Clooney's character is really well defined and interesting, while Kendrick's a little more one-note and annoying, so that doesn't make fo More

This is one of those movies that takes you in a certain direction but in the end changes course and brings you somewhere else. It was entertaining but the ending was not the one I was hoping for and I felt diminished the rest of the movie.

I don’t really get why this movie got an Oscar nomination. I mean it’s watchable but I don’t think it’s Oscar-worthy. I think this movie is too simple to be nominated. There were some funny parts but it’s more of a “LOL” than “LMAO”. Script wise, it’s nice. It’s kind of real in More
