This is a good film. It's certainly not a "wow!" film, but does OK. The women are marvelous. Farmiga was already great in "A Moment of Truth" along with Kate Beckinsale. However, Clooney...mmm. I still don't get what is it with Clooney! (Do his head tilting and eyelashes almost feminine waving have something to do with?) He must be one of the most unexpressive actors, probably only surpassed by Bill Pullman or Bill Murray. Jason Bateman is pretty unexpressive too (his face simply won't allow him to grab any strong (boss) character unless disguised with lots of make-up and special clothing). C'mon!. And then, I don't think this is a "comedy"...no, no, no. (It does contain some witty and sour humor). This is a great (dramatic) portraying of a guy who wants to hang out and have sex with women without getting emotionally involved, taking advantage of his continuous flying job. He despaires when finds out he did fall for this one, particularly for the one whose game rules where just exchanging sexual pleasure with no strings attached!, and was shocked to actually see her in her family context (husband, and her children running along through the house, etc.).
