One of the warmest and most entertaining films of this or any year, which is saying something considering it's about a man who fires people for a living.

Where Up in the Air soars is in the way it captures Ryan's rhythm, the elegant precision of his comforting ritual, the smooth familiarity of his life-in-transition existence.

This is a likable film, with likable actors and a breezy, pleasant pace. If you're not paying close attention, you'd almost miss that this film is a crock. But it is. It's an elegant con.

It's a pleasure to watch an adult American comedy that tries to deal with the real world, however much of a fantasy it carves from it.

From taxi to touchdown, Reitman knows how to get us to the next destination.
