Movie Reviews of View from the Top
Movie Review: better than the other reviews suggest! (Really 3 1/2 stars)
Summary: 3 Stars
I rented this movie despite having heard some very bad reviews and also knowing that it's stay in the cinemas here in Australia was very short... What I discovered was a movie (that despite its supposed endless re-editing) that was funny and heartwarming, and a movie that so long as your not in the mood for the pianist is a well acted little comedy. It's a nice pick me up in a world where not everything is always hunky-dory. View from the Top is popcorn and nothing else, but that dosen't make it bad, it's just not a masterpiece, at least it's a nice bit of popcorn.
Movie Review: Surprising Romantic Comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't usually write movie reviews here but I thought this movie deserved a review.
This is a perfect example of mixed marketing. I thought this movie was kind of a goofy Mike Myers vehicle that happened to have Gwyneth Paltrow in it but I came to find that it was a very cute and sweet romantic comedy that the whole family could watch.
It has a great soundtrack and was quite enjoyable. I definitely think more people need to give this one a look.
Movie Review: really 3 and 1/2 but the don't have half stars
Summary: 3 Stars
this is a really cute movie IF you take it as a spoof on the flight attendant business, and you ignore the crumy acting in spots. Also there are parts of it that are really WAY to corny. Other than that it is a cute movie. I really liked it. The acting is splotchy, but there are good areas. It is adorable though. It has a good plot line, that keeps you hooked throughout the movie, IF you like girly chick flicks.Movie Review: A GOOD ROMANTIC COMEDY MYERS IS HYSTERICAL
Summary: 3 Stars
OK this film isn't going to win any awards, but it is a fun good natured movie that I found very easy to watch. Mike Myers gets the most mileage out of his small part! It's cute, the girls are sexy and its fairly funny.....hey! what do you want? The DVD has a good transfer too.Movie Review: PURE FLUFF!
Summary: 2 Stars
I had to see this movie because I am a Flight Attendant and as a Flight Attendant it was so hard for me not to nit pick all the little things that they got wrong in this movie. First of all the FAA would never allow a Flight Attendant to sit in the jump seat without going through several weeks of training(but then that scene would not have been that funny). The Captain sleeping in the flight deck, well that part I can see happening. Rob Lowe's character is wearing four stripes on his uniform but he is sitting in the right seat and calls himself a Co-Pilot or as we call it in the industry a First Officer, so he should only be wearing three stripes. A brace position on the jump seat is not puting your hands in your lap, it is sitting on them or holding them together. What decade is this in anyway, because there is NO way that a prominent airline would hire someone wearing those outfits to an interview and the uniforms are so retro. I can't remember the last time I saw an F/A with a hat on. However, the thing that annoyed me the most was the fact that a first year flight attendant could afford to have her own place in Manhattan HA HA HA! A first year flight attendant is lucky if she makes $20,000 that year. I think that this movie would have been a lot funnier if they explored what really goes on during those trips.
First of all, if this movie was true to life, Rob Lowes character would have seduced a young naive Donna only to have her find out that all along he was married and lying to her. Also on a overnight if you are on the ground for a long time the crew usually goes out together for some drinks and to see the sites and 9 times out of 10 atleast one of the pilots makes his way back to one of the flight attendants room(never their own cause then they would run the risk of their wife or girlfriend calling) Now that is stuff you hear about ALL the time in the industry. And that is just the tip of the iceburg of all the crazy things that really go on behind the scenes. If the writers of this movie would have interviewed real airline flight crews then they could have gotten a really great hilarious script together. Trust me, the next time you are on a plane ask your flight attendant (when he or she is not busy) what is the craziest thing they have ever seen or heard on a flight. You won't believe your ears.
