Great acting, unique story with a little bit of comedy - but as some of the other reviews say; prepare to be mildly depressed.
This movie was positively fantastic. I would actually like to see it again and I NEVER see movies more than once. Clooney was very believable and real in his character and had a certain warmth and charm and likability. The movie really made you think about what is important in life. Two thumbs way up!!
Enjoyed it; a tough movie to make but Clooney pulled it off being both shallow and endearing; Clooney can act, as can his two co-stars. Those who have never been fired or have had to live on the road will not understand this film.
There was no point to this movie except to mock those who do not possess the 'correct' american family values. Awful and a waste of time to watch.
Really enjoyed this movie; had a great message; as someone who regularily travels , the humor and the story really hit home.
OMG if you want to be depressed you should go see this movie.
People who don't like this movie are either rich snobs or have an iq of 1. IT's a movie that makes you think people! If you want a movie that doesn't require you to "Think" go see Avatar or Twilight.
MILDLY entertaining with mildly being bold italic caps.I would challenge those who used the word warm in their description of this movie to explain why...it's the story of a lost sad lonely man who's job it is to destroy peoples lives. You and he are lured in to thinking he may turn over a new leaf and get some substance in his life only to realise (predictably) that the so called warmth is fake, cruel and unethical....hmmmm gotta wonder about some of these posters on here. this movie was thought provoking and will hold your attention but it wasn't worthy of the $$$ you'd spend at the theatre and certainly not oscar worthy.....2 AND A HALF STARS
A navel gazing, boring movie. Clooney overacts and there is no interesting plot to watch.
This story was very potent &true to real life. Throws in serveral twists & the ending was waaay left field. When the credits started rolling I was like, where's the rest!! lol. Lots of open ended quesries left!!
