Up in the Air

Very funny dialogue, plot twists.  I was going to put this in the unusual romantic comedy category until one of the twists.  Is the ending too obscure?  The social consciousness-aspect of the movie, the idea of putting faces on the unemployment statistics, the critique of capitalism's ruthlessness might be too manipulative, aesthetically speaking, but the movie is a grab bag of elements of different genres, and the grab-bag-ness gives it some of its aesthetic edge.
