based on the novel by Walter Kirn with same title it portrayed the life of a corporate down-sizer. Whose job is to fire people. very good movie, I have always liked those movies which makes you think so that movie doesn't end with you leaving cinema hall. This movie makes you think about life. A person remains happy alone, till he is happy. As sadness comes in his life it shows him/her his loneliness. During first half it appeared that movie isn't going anywhere but during second half it all made sense. performance wise all were good but specifically Anna Kendrick really acted very well. She excellently portrayed the role of fresh graduate new in corporate world.
