Up In the Air

So I just watched 2009's Up in the air, was it good well yeah. It was directed by Jason Reitman son of Ivan Reitman who gave us some comedy classics and gave us some real stinkers as well. His son has given us in his relatively short career this movie, Juno, and Thank You for Smoking. So I can picture this kid being in his dad's world and learning from it, being inspired by it, and taking it to the level his dad hasn't. What I mean is I love Stripes and Meatball's but Jason's movies are much better and in this case deeper than his father's work. I have to think his dad is proud of his son. This movie had great acting from America's sweetheart George Clooney who is embracing getting older, and the rest of the cast including Vera Farmiga. It was deep without being obvious about being so, comical, and enjoyable to watch from start to finish, this is one of those movies that most people can find enjoyable. If you are intellectual you look for deeper meaning, if you are average you laugh and enjoy the ride.
