  • of let's start with open their what about that

  • all the errors story of a guy who %uh goes around the country %um %um

  • %uh a fiery

  • %uh hired George clooney %uh hired %uh

  • %uh by other companies to lay off

  • significant numbers of people

  • %um

  • and he works for a big firm and they go around the country late people off and

  • sort of he has developed a lifestyle in the process of doing that

  • %uh that has enabled him to sort of be cut off from sort of intimate human

  • contact sort of that tallies able maybe

  • to to give people this horrible life changing

  • %uh news that they get

  • at and so %uh in the end he's the star of it and that he had any meets the ear

  • for me go along the way they develop a little relationship and it's in human

  • contact with him

  • %uh and against that backdrop is for changes going on in his company

  • I I can't replace the young executives for who wants to make that process of

  • firing people

  • even more horrible and distant promote than it already is by doing it on the

  • lines he would even that nobody would even tell your face the been fired

  • you sit in front of a computer largely well

  • that's the story the movie and his sort of

  • emotional development is that

  • all right of how bout with someone that of would you

  • you know actually this movie really kind of threw me I was really enjoying it

  • for the most part and to sum it up really of laughs

  • twenty minutes or so it

  • kind of fell apart from it

  • %uh you know I

  • personal feeling is that for the most part

  • this stuff that

  • all have to the airport was the sharpest strongest up for the vote

  • and and carlos is traveling to dallas colleagues any law that was sort of the

  • leaks that it's in

  • how you get through that to the security line rightly and

  • how you get your coffee and keep your that I I hit that all the travel right

  • and as a study inefficiency insular and really sharp issues training

  • and kendrick here's what you do things that

  • the profiling is twenty-fold certain people through security

  • was really sharp and really funny

  • but I felt like the emotional stuff

  • you know as far as him dealing with relationships of learning to cut it

  • the of real personal got a weak and then the and we know that totally for me for

  • this loop

  • you know days later I'm still not really sure how I feel about

  • I think that I mean my mandate of blake

  • you know that it one of the national board of review of esprit for the year

  • so that there are getting us because there are a number of critics of the

  • who've already to put it as that their top movie of the year at least so far

  • while the so I'm curious what you thought of and did you did you like it

  • love it was or wasn't planted evidence or by then

  • well the ending is a surprise is certainly not really the the ending you

  • see coming I I will say that it's taken me a couple of days later

  • I would overall say that wasn't a good thing that that it wasn't unexpected but

  • I I understand it and it took a different

  • well that's what you know and on the third level I wonder with the that I

  • felt it without giving too much away

  • I find the ending to be

  • on a certain level extremely tragic

  • there might be kissed me a motion we rejecting that

  • the way his character and up

  • in my interpretation of that that that's what I have a problem

  • well that that you know that's interesting because all right

  • %uh I like the ending

  • but in terms of what happened an ID techs again thrown for a loop I thought

  • that's what was going on

  • again at with stabbing what you're going to live to the event America a new

  • global trade group or of work that a you bruce willis was dead the effort by a so

  • I I saw coming by

  • I felt like he didn't quite and the movie so it I have a different problem

  • with and the like

  • it just kind of let the day like up

  • the case there was no panic include lot of big fan of that I'm a big fan of that

  • kind of ending I'm a big fan of the and sopranos of a penetrating cheers to

  • valleys of major series that recent criticism

  • again we ought to give the ending a leading control of direction so I don't

  • think I I don't think we are but it is surprising and it is

  • a little bit

  • there's no definitive stamp on it

  • there's certainly no definitive stamp on what you're left with is wondering

  • what's going to happen to George clooney character outright bingham

  • the next day

  • rick only a brief recap like of white house they have attacked should

  • recognize that that isn't it well and I think that part of my

  • issues here is that I thought like with the way the of egos and and

  • the tone of kind of the third activity

  • if you've been watching a lot of the promotional material for this and seeing

  • the trailers

  • I feel like to give a much different sense of the way the movies could have

  • done

  • if you go in thinking this is going to be kind of the light

  • fraught the holiday movie

  • that's not what this is well you know I I don't want to get too too much on to

  • that point but it's such a good one that I I have to mention I just saw moving

  • today that were not reveal called everybody's on

  • with the Robert deniro advocate that analyst and rockwell drew barrymore

  • it appears to be

  • based on the posters in everything the sort of guy is others on his own and

  • he's

  • if kids don't come home for the holidays so he sets out to do it

  • and I think this is going to be a holiday family coming together movie

  • I've got it and

  • so that and it's really misrepresented those trailers and I think that's a

  • little bit from here

  • I

  • they've been doing that a lot of I mentioned it on at the movies when I was

  • doing that for for a good part of the year

  • a lot of movies

  • the trailers clearly designed to get people into theaters and they don't care

  • at all the going to deliver a totally different movie that what you expect

  • from the for now

  • I think that all be don't get us wrong it was one movie it all right

  • at least two thirds of writing almost all of it was a fun movie it was great

  • writing

  • you know I was clever I laughed I enjoyed it

  • my problems opposite by I thought that the time I'm really enjoying this movie

  • but only Cuba's he didn't say a word

  • I I thought like that okay I enjoy that movie but that's not going to make my

  • top hundred Islamic but up to a good

  • this is going to get

  • solid movie well that's the other thing is I feel like you know with all the

  • buzz was happy about it

  • really this is kind of just the kind of small personal story about one guy

  • right but it's not

  • it's not a at bay it's not the most important movie the year

  • the followed fail

  • but I think a lot of people are expecting old this movie the a much

  • bigger

  • more importantly that really rights icon automatic your expectations is it you're

  • not going to a movie the things that really the greatest thing on earth at

  • the end and it turns out it's just nice movie that because

  • i'd look ID

  • I'm shocked that they considered for an oscar and I like it but I'm shocked that

  • no idea about what the actual

  • well I don't know if they were that compound that is a small story house at

  • their is a bigger picture to it and especially right now light of the

  • economic situations where

  • situation where he works a George clooney care to work for this big

  • company

  • at what level of paraphrase but his boss situation they've been

  • you know says %uh you know it we're looking at massive layoffs in detroit

  • the recession is skyrocketing the the end of the day by is fall apart the

  • dollar's worth nothing

  • this is going to be a great time for us

  • it is because people are going to get

  • well I and it's awesome

  • there we see that

  • as we've seen that in this sort of times of massive economic stress of hardship

  • is incredibly profitable some people an incredible sort of %uh inouye has been

  • an incredible with for some people another great thing they did in this

  • movie

  • the fact of that matter as

  • to what may be my top we demand working now and and maybe my house cleaning lady

  • working

  • I mean I haven't seen her for being a movie and just go

  • I don't care what it is on that strong so I think it is actually

  • and everything that

  • she never an issue got a late-breaking life sort of with the departing chief

  • worked before that I was a big breakthrough role for Martin scorsese

  • given that part

  • and kendrick

  • up plays the young executive who wants to fire everybody over the internet over

  • to one line

  • no I did like new moon or twilight she plays the friend in twilight

  • %uh %uh %uh kristin storage friend

  • I thought she stole twilight

  • I've said it in my review of of that camera she is she's great and I think

  • she's great again here so I think three performances elevated

  • I was about to hear

  • I would think not

  • larry can think of movies that are better

  • but I think it's a top-notch autopsy we're going up because with with acting

  • performances

  • I mean yeah the reform yet is fantastic and the parties really well written for

  • really well and eric cantor part is

  • great and she really really skills without accreditation reitman wrote it

  • %uh with %uh killed her a democrat

  • okay right and and Clinton tested this is a really good role for him

  • you know unlike a lot of times where we can see him being like the fleet one

  • answer

  • one of the nice things about this is in this film you actually kind of fee

  • him play a character that falls for someone

  • and you do go on that journey with him any really dragged along which

  • is one of the more engaging things I think happens to this fellow all right

  • so for the first time were actually rate of war

  • okay

  • I don't larry

  • I mean the lady is a very simple rating out of ten

  • any number out of ten any

  • ll fraction of what everyone out of ten

  • and that like my sense of light

  • it for me and eight is like okay that's a kick ass movie you gotta go see it in

  • the theater right

  • up but it's six is movie I would go to see defeated fellow straight so on that

  • scale

  • seven and a half

  • so I really liked it

  • but it didn't

  • like go over the thing about all you gotta go see this movie so I pose seven

  • we would high you know I

  • kind of there with you I think it's a really solid so I think it's something

  • people from the

  • the they were doing numbers are going to go

  • %uh with boeing's recent

  • play does that report

  • the managements that on a scale of one to ten

  • I give up in the air

  • an atlanta

  • well that on on the report by two packed slow moving its %uh it is %uh certainly

  • if I were to make a list of the ten best movies that this year of course there

  • are two of contamination now

  • all right now why I'm not I think she too much stuff to come out there later

  • this month it certainly would crack like that

  • all right so that's the fifth to summarize that the thought of school

  • it isn't
