No one thought Donna would go very far. But when she sets her sights on becoming a first-class international flight attendant, Donna throws caution to the wind and takes off in pursuit of her dream. The ride is anything but smooth, however, and Donna's laugh-packed journey of a lifetime is rocked by more turbulence than she bargained for.

Paltrow cannot begin to save this unfunny flight attendant comedy that should have gone direct to video.
Hap Erstein, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rotten
The characters have no wit or charm, the plot has no conflict or development, nothing happens for any reason other than script requirements.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Poorly lit and tone-deaf.
