    We're making the rounds of the movies that are nominated for Oscars and this was the next one to watch. The one thing I had heard about it was that it is 2 hours of product placements. This is true like no other movie that I have ever watched. They had whole conversations about products. Worse, they took it to a new level by throwing the competitors under the bus.

    Anyway, the first half of the movie was rather uneventful. I always do enjoy George Clooney and Vera Farmiga was fantastic but the story was rather bland. However, the story really picked up in the second half and the ending was actually excellent. I still can't fathom how Anna Kendrick got Oscar attention for playing miserable/whiney girl. She had two memorable lines in the whole movie.
