We did save this for DVD-rental and it wasn't worth watching via rental, either. I was very disappointed. I'd heard from so many people that this was good, so I was expecting SOMETHING. I'm really surprised it got a Best Picture Oscar nomination, especially as Dreamgirls was a hell of a lot better. A lot of movies from last year were a lot better than this one.
The only thing I really liked was the silent Nietzsche-reading teen pilot wanna-be and his interaction with Steve Carell's character and with his little sister -- that worked pretty well. (And after all, Nietzsche is Pietzsche. At least that's what I read on a t-shirt.)
But mostly I just wanted to shoot Greg Kinnear and put him out of my misery.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
