Sometimes, I lose my head.

It happens when I have a world of good movies to pick from and I end up with Up in the air, worse still, watching it till the very end.

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) fires people for a living. Yes, he helps you to downsize your company if you don't want to get involved in the mess yourself.

Ryan has a philosophy - no marriage, no kids, no family, no love, you are born alone and you die alone.

Fine.

Problem arises when the movie attempts to bring a change of heart in Ryan, make him a decent, family man who suddenly realises that his life is empty and worthless.

One of the most half hearted, unbelievable and flimsy attempts ever.

Fire the movie.
