Saw this last night, and liked it quite a bit! When I left the theater...I was thinking that it definitely won't win Best Picture. And while mulling it around in my brain...I still don't think it'll win the biggie, but I liked it more than I did initially.
George Clooney was great, as always. He's always pretty reliable for a good role/character. Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick were really quite amazing! If both were nominated for Supporting Actress, I think Farmiga would take it over Kendrick, but I also haven't seen many of the other potentials yet.
I'm a fan of Reitman's too...I like his light, yet meaningful approach and style. I was a huge, huge fan of Juno, and really liked Thank You For Smoking too. It'd be cool for him to get another nod, but as for winning - meh, I'm not sure.
Anyways - I totally recommend this movie! It was funny, dramatic, somewhat light, and had a few good plot twists to keep the viewer vested.
Also - HOW IS THERE NOT AN AVATAR THREAD HERE!?!? Think I'm going to check that one out this week sometime!
