Ryan Bingham travels from city to city, carrying all his belongings in a single suitcase while making a nice living firing people. His only significant long-term ambition is to reach ten million frequent flyer miles, and he's very nearly there. It isn't until he meets the woman of his dreams and is forced to work with the woman of his nightmares that he starts to take a long hard look at his life. In a digital, global, instant-gratification society, is there any room for things like home, family, and community? Director Jason Reitman knows how to deliver quirky stories about unlikely heroes: he's the man behind "Thank You for Smoking" and the Oscar-winning teen pregnancy tale "Juno." You certainly could do worse than to be fired by George Clooney, one of Hollywood's most charming leading men.
