Saw this the other day with the wife...Really enjoyable movie. Smart...great dialogue. Was mildly disappointed that JK Simmons and Zack Galifinakis were given opening credits, but had very small roles...Would have loved to have seen something developed with those two characters...sort of come back later and see what, if anything, they've done with their lives.

I liked it too -- it was well written, wry humor, but basically a pretty dark film.

Pretty good. Seriously boring in parts, very well done in others. Younger female actress stole the show for the most part. Clooney did a good job, was no his normal sameness.

Recently watched it. Agree, the young girl was excellent. Loved the movie, great dialog and acting. I like these dark/depressing movies. A good contrast to the typical film where everything works out like roses.

You mean more like real life :)

I really enjoyed it! And yes, it was realistic instead of all fakey and rosy.

I felt so badly for him when he flew to the gal pal's home and she opened the door... ouch ...
