   Up in the Air, except with likable characters who talk like real people?

   I’m honestly not trying to be mean, but I wish they’d put under “Academy Award Winner Ben Affleck” *for screenplay, not acting*, because it annoys me when they do that for a film he’s just starring in. It’s like if Eminem were to do another film, and they put “Academy Award Winner Eminem” in the trailer; it just gives the wrong impression.

   Other than that, it could be good, but I really loved ‘Up In The Air’, so it’ll be hard to shake that unless it’s drastically different.

   Wow. What a cast. I could barely recognize Kevin Costner. This could well be a comeback for him AND Ben Affleck.

   And Jake, if you found the characters unlikeable and the dialogue unrealistic in “Up in the Air”, that says more about you than it does about the movie.

   Tye-Grr,

   I agree. They have to say Oscar for what, if not for acting. Of course the same thing goes for Kevin Costner as well..

   The uplifting music swelling with Ben screaming from the rooftops…pass the barf bag. Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper are excused. We all have to make money somehow…

   this isn’t intended to help people who are out of work b/c of the recession feel better, is it? Because it won’t.

    The trailer looked decent enough, like it could possibly be good, but the “I WILLLL WIIIINNNNN” rooftop-scream at the end was just LOL bad! lol

    Just when Ben gets in the good graces of the movie going public, then we see this trailer and that’s cringe worthy bad ( and cliched ) Cooper, Lee Jones and Costner seem in good form.

    Rashad,

    I am curious what made you think that we are haters?????

    Those two actors won their Oscars for non-acting performances but in this movie they are acting! So just saying they are academy winners in my opinion is misleading.

    Since when saying something like this means “hater”??? What are you? 16 years old teen boy???

    I’ve been waiting for this type of movie to be made. 2008 sucked (still does) for a lot of company men. The problem with UITA was that it was marketed as some movie dealing with the unemployeds but the movie wasn’t about them in the end. Hopefully, this movie deals with the topic with more depth, instead of a relevance baity punchline.

    Richard, UITA wasn’t really about the unemployed. It was about the people who exploit the unemployed. It was about relationships. Having a movie like UITA based around an important issue doesn’t make it a “relevance baity punchline”. How could UITA have been about the peole who were fired, anyway? It follows these two upper-class people whose job is to fire people and leave town.

    I don’t feel the marketing misrepresented the movie at all, but even so, don’t blame the marketing for your own misconceptions.

    Yeah, the “I will win” part at the end didn’t help things, but I don’t care: I’m seeing this.
