    Not that Im segregating movies according to gender but this is just totally a chick flick. Anyway I like this one cause its got a nice influential message and its a feel good movie but its not exactly a comedy.

    If you like kitsch films then you'll like this. Entertaining, but Mark Ruffalo is the only one of the cast who can act, so don't expect it to turn up in anyone's top 100 films.

    Poor plot. Gwyneth's character is surprising.

    Modern camp humor classic. If you think like a bitchy gay man - you will love this film.

    I thought this movie was so much fun to watch. You get to know about the lives of three stewardesses who work for a low budget company. One of the stewardesses wants more and struggles to get to top of the business. The movie is very easy going and funny.

    romantic comedy starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Ruffalo, Mike Myers, Candice Bergen, Christina Applegate and Kelly Preston. written by Eric Wald. directed by Bruno Barreto.

    feeling like she is never going to get out of the small town she lives in, Donna Jensen (Paltrow) picks up ...( read more)a copy of My Life in the Sky the autobiography of Sally Weston (Bergen) and sets her sights on becoming a flight attendant.

    very underrated chick flick. a sweet love story with some very funny moments and most of all, its a great story about following your dreams. ♥

    This is a very light, dumb movie without any deeper redeeming qualities (unless you're partial to Cleveland). However, it's sweet and inoffensive and doesn't have any bad language and if you're bored, you might have a decent time.

    Cute, Funny Comedy of becoming a Flight Attendant.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Just sits there, barely bubbling, substituting Day-Glo costumes for wit. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

This is a comedy with only one genuinely funny scene. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

What might fly as a skit on SNL never leaves the runway on the screen as Brazilian director Bruno Barreto and first-time screenwriter Eric Wald set the cast on a desperate search for laughs. full review

March 21, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Paltrow is lovable in the right roles, and here she's joined by two others who are sunny on the screen: Candice Bergen, as the best-selling flight attendant who becomes her mentor, and Mark Ruffalo. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Who on earth is this embarrassment -- easily the worst film of the year to date -- aimed at? full review

March 20, 2003
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

A piddling exercise in which our heroine must decide between her literally lofty ambitions and her hunky sweetheart. full review
