I'm surprised at the plaudits this film has got. Don't get me wrong, it's alright. But it's just alright.
George Clooney plays George Clooney as a self-absorbed, loner whose only goal in life is to collect AirMiles as part of his job flying round the country firing people. As the film unfolds, he gradually comes to realise that no man is an island through spending time with a naive young girl and a woman who breaks through his off-puttish exterior.
It's effectively About A Boy with a more charismatic lead actor, a script that's a good fifteen minutes too long and a female lead who either has an arse that is fifteen years younger than the rest of her body or good taste in body doubles.
Not much more to add here, if it's on telly I'll watch it. But I love George so that's a given anyway.
