Hilary Swank plays an ER doctor who has recently broken up from her long term boyfriend and moves into a "too good to be true" apartment in New York.
It's too good to be true because Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character is a mentalist, and her landlord.
The storyline has a lot of potential but as usual in this kind of movie, the lead female makes endless amounts of stupid decisions and you find yourself rolling your eyes at her stupidity. For example, when being chased by a psycho do you a) run for nearest exit or b) wedge yourself into the smallest crawl space possible so he can drag you back out by your feet?
This genre just isn't for me I guess. As good as any movie in the obvious thriller genre can be.
Up in the Air - 109 mins - 3.5 stars from me
It's a George Clooney movie.
Considering one website I came across named this the number 1 movie of 2009, I was expecting it to be a lot better.
The storyline isn't bad, the acting is okay, but all in all I would rate this movie as just above average, at best.
The Change Up - 112 mins - 4 out of 5 stars
This movie is stupid. I LOVED IT!
Admittedly I have a weak spot for Jason Bateman (I'm yet to see him do anything bad) but I found this film really entertaining.
If you have kids, you can relate. If you know people who have kids, you can relate. The storyline is adventurous but it works. I definitely recommend finding the time to see this movie, even if it's just once it comes out on DVD.
