Brazilian filmmaker Bruno Barreto directs this comic look at the world of flight attendants starring Gwyneth Paltrow as Donna, a small town Nevada woman who dreams of seeing the world by becoming a first class international stewardess. Lacking the requisite poise and class, Donna finds a mentor in retired trade veteran Sally (Candice Bergen), a wealthy, best-selling author who assists with advice and her considerable influence. Despite Sally's help, Donna finds the process of fulfilling her career ambitions more difficult than she imagined when she's betrayed by a trusted friend (Christina Applegate) during flight training, a daunting course taught by the bitter John Whitney (Mike Myers), a once-aspiring steward whose eye condition kept him forever out of the friendly skies. Donna also faces a romantic crisis when she falls for a handsome law student (Mark Ruffalo) whose education consigns him to Ohio, far away from the major urban hubs Donna dreams of working. A View from the Top (2002) costars Rob Lowe, Josh Malina, Kelly Preston and Jon Polito. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Amber D.

This movie was not the outrageously funny slapstick comedy portrayed by the trailers, but more of a corny-sweet movie about following your dreams, and realizing maybe your dreams aren't really what you thought they were. Mike Myers is hilarious as the stymied would-be flight attendant who can't fly because of a lazy eye, so takes his frustrations out by subjecting trainees to bad jokes and ridiculous training techniques. It was mildly entertaining in a tongue-in-cheek way despite being overly sappy and taking itself too seriously at times.

I think this movie was trying too hard to have a deeper meaning. In general it wasn't very funny and there were times where it seemed to force the comedy a little. If you wanna pass time, rent it, if not, skip it.

Cute/funny movie. I realized after watching the first 10mins of it that I'd seen it before. I continued to watch, i still laughed, and I still enjoyed.

I enjoyed this movie. Candice Bergen is always wonderful, and Gwyneth Paltrow does a good job too. Light hearted humor and good entertainment.

..this is a charming and delightful film to watch. It combines highly photogenic stars, great scenery, a hip soundtrack, and a great message. This is a chick flick that guys will like too. Don't miss an uncredited cameo by George Kennedy in first class...he was Joe Patroni, the master jetliner mechanic from the Airport movies of the '70s..
