It's not often that we get to enjoy a movie that is intelligent, thoughtful, relevant to today's issues, and at the same time, warm, charming and very funny. It helps to have George Clooney in the lead as a man who spends his professional life "Up in the Air", happily traveling to the extent that he has no personal ties to clutter is life. He lives for his frequent flier miles, but circumstances arise that change all of that and it is wonderful to see how he and those around him react.
