So this film had a lot of potential because of the reality of the economic crisis. The plot being, there’s a series of layoffs and the film follows a couple of those individuals and how they cope. But the problem I had with this is, they’re all white collar individuals who made good money, so there’s absolutely no sympathy for these people.<\/p>\n

Ben Affleck<\/a> plays a cocky asshole who drives a Porsche. Yeah, that kinda guy. And we’re suppose to sympathize for this guy because he lost his job even though he still seems to have a perfect family, etc.\u00a0 Just not likable at all.<\/p>\n

The only upside was Tommy Lee Jones<\/a>‘ performance. He played the beaten down boss really well.<\/p>\n
