Donna Jensen, une jeune femme idéaliste, rêve de quitter sa petite ville perdue au fin fond des Etats-Unis et sa morne existence pour une vie beaucoup plus glamour: celle d'hôtesse de l'air de première classe sur des trajets internationaux. Mais la route vers le succès n'est pas vraiment un long vol tranquille ! Sous l'oeil de John Whitney, le légendaire instructeur de la Royalty Airlines, et celui de Sally Weston, figure emblématique auprès des hôtesses de la compagnie, Donna doit affronter plus de turbulences qu'elle ne l'avait prévu. Se pose alors la vraie question: doit-elle descendre dès la première escale ou au contraire déployer ses ailes et prendre enfin son envol ? (texte officiel du distributeur)

I laughed, but at the naivety, the clichés and whether anyone could take this film seriously. Fortunately, it's quite bearable to watch thanks to Mark Ruffalo and Gwyneth Paltrow, but miracles come in other forms.

A calm and easygoing comedy. Although the story is simple and could be described as plain, it is delivered effectively and thanks to the two main actresses (Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Applegate), and the good male acting duo, it made an impression on me.

Such a small and annoyingly sticky candy cane. It entertains us because Gwyneth Paltrow can always be cute, because Mark Ruffalo belongs in the golden fund of current heartthrobs, and because Mike Myers should have a patent for his uncontrollable grimaces. However, it does not take us up to the clouds. Anything related to airplanes, runways, flight attendants, or stewards is filled with the hope of little girls, to the point where it cannot be taken seriously.

It's one of those romantic comedies with very weak or almost no humor (unless you're a fan of poor jokes about cross-eyed people - if you're making fun of such things, it should at least be very dark or even brutal humor). As for the romance, it was represented by a series of clichés. What I'd like to highlight is Christina Applegate in a swimsuit because it was one of the few moments when I smiled. And then, there was the first flight with Sierra Airlines. There's nothing better than a flight crew member who panics and desperately runs around the cabin while screaming: "We're all going to die!!". This was probably the most amusing moment of the whole movie for me. Otherwise, it was quite a snooze fest full of the clichés I mentioned earlier. I'm giving it two stars because I'm feeling benevolent. / Lesson learned: I'd rather keep my feet on the ground.
