View from the Top

It's appropriate that Candice Bergen has the mother superior role in View From The Top. You can see her character's payoff a mile away but it's still something to enjoy. ... Full Review

That movie managed to be outrageous, silly and funny at the same time. Mike Myers plays the instructor at flight attendants' school with a lazy eye and a zaniness that recalls the Austin Powers movies. ... Full Review

The movie is supposed to be about Donna's late-blooming coming-of-age in the high-flying environs of flight attending, but it's actually about little at all, the script being bereft of wit or depth.

On the evidence of her previous pictures, Gwyneth Paltrow seems an intelligent woman, an accomplished actress, and a beautiful person.....it's actually about little at all, the script being bereft of wit or depth..... ... Full Review
