| Rolling Stone Peter Travers People I meet always ask if there is something wonderful to see at the movies. Now I have an answer. See Up in the Air, a transporting comedy from slump-resistant director Jason Reitman (Thank You for Smoking, Juno) that jet-fuels the Oscar race, rattles with romantic turbulence, rumbles with the terror of living in a cratering economy and takes a never-better George Clooney on the ride of his acting life. | 18 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs One of the best offerings of 2009 and clearly one of my favorites, one should book a flight with Up in the Air as soon as possible and then enjoy both the journey and the intellectual and emotional destination to which it will take you. | 16 | |
