Capsule review:

As the frequent-flying “career transition counselor” (read: the suave bully you hire when you’re scared to fire employees), George Clooney gives the performance of his career. Jason Reitman’s movie is perfectly tailored to the star’s melancholy twinkle and purring motormouth. With the sublime Vera Farmiga and quirky Anna Kendrick.
