Summary/Review:
I was in the mood for something dumb, and saw this listed on Netflix and thought it might fill the bill. It’s story about Donna, a young woman from a small town who dreams of getting out and decides to become a flight attendant, first with a skeezy commuter airline and then with one of the top carriers. This movie really doesn’t know if it wants to be a screwball comedy, an inspirational film, or a romantic comedy and jarringly jumps among all three styles. A lot of the “humor” relies on gender stereotypes and movie cliches. I know I got what I asked for when I wanted something dumb, but it wasn’t even an entertaining dumb. Somewhere in here is the seed of a good movie, but the didn’t seem to try.
Rating: *1/2
