From the director of Juno, this genuinely funny comedy breezes right along with Clooney at his glorious best showing once again what a great comic actor he is. It's the story of smooth, sardonic Ryan Bingham, a lone dog executive who specializes in firing people, showing the ropes to Natalie, the pushy young executive who is threatening to undermine his whole way of life. With its crisp direction and sharp script it brilliantly skewers the American corporate dream. The gentle unraveling of all that the supremely self-centered Ryan holds dear leaves him re-assessing his life's priorities.
"a witty, thoughtful, surprisingly bleak satire on contemporary America, and the crumbling dream it represents." Time Out
