Load of rubbish!!
... View MoreFantastic!
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreI'm on a Mark Ruffalo kick at the moment. So far I've watched seventeen of his movies, not in sequential order but just as they come up on Netflix, Amazon or any of the other streaming channels. The reason: Mark Ruffalo is pretty awesome in everything he's in. Even in execrable pap like 'View From The Top', his performance shines with authenticity and pathos. I normally like Gwyneth Paltrow too, and she didn't do a terrible job in this, hampered as she was by the god awful script, clunky editing and with the enormous albatross that is Mike Myer's when he's really hamming it up.I'm not going to say much about the plot (there wasn't one), or the supporting cast (forgettable) or sledgehammer message (live your dreams baby), but I will say that the outtakes over the credits at the end were some of the most tragic, manufactured cobblers I'd ever witnessed. In the words of another reviewer; 'I felt violated'.
... View MoreI saw this on TV and had to immediately write a review because of how appalled I am. I don't want to exaggerate, so I can't say this is the worst movie ever. I haven't seen every movie to know.I can't say this is the worst movie I've ever seen. I don't remember them all, and I haven't been keeping track.All I can say is: I don't remember any movie worse than "View from the Top" (2003).I don't understand how the story is so bad.I don't understand how the the writing is so bad.I understand why the acting is so bad. They were doomed by the production they were in.Credit for the musical montage in Paris. That was the one segment of the movie where I wasn't laughing from amazement or crying from torture.Do movies get worse than this?
... View MorePlot-less. Would have been better as just straight up pornography. Just get them people to f*cking, cut out the middle man. A movie made of ghosts, one haunting after the next and all that is gained is a numb spiritual emptiness. Gwyneth Paltrow is a pretty lady, I understand, but does she really need a whole movie to herself? What story is she gonna tell me? A pretty lady struggles, a pretty lady perseveres, a pretty lady achieves? Is that really a story? If there is a love story in this, you know it's gonna work out well in the end? Don't you know that? Please tell me you know that. If this movie was a forest, I would burn it down, down to the ground.
... View MoreThe idea that a young girl from a dysfunctional Nevada home attains success and happiness in her role as a stewardess, despite being betrayed by her alleged best friend marks this 2003 film. It's the old story that love counts as well.Gwyneth Paltrow is perfectly cast as that girl. Success comes her way, but in the process she gives up boyfriend, Mark Ruffalo.This kind of picture will always come along with the element of good advice; in this case, given by Candice Bergen who looks as charming as ever.Happiness must include your personal life as well.
