Up in the Air, Jason Reitman, 2009

Reitman's film is a ham-fisted, aphoristic melange of dramatic themes, flatly and tacitly addressing "big" issues such as commitment, loneliness, love, and youth. Incidentally, a far more wrenching depiction of soul-crushing on-the-road hucksterism can be found in Craig Zobel's 'Great World of Sound.'
