This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Lacey Chabert does her best with a terrible script, but nothing can save this movie. Terrible editing, weird directing, wooden acting by many of the other actors and a completely ridiculous plot. The only reason it doesn't get a one is because Ms. Chabert is actually quite good for much of the movie. Ms. Chabert, who is always likable on screen, makes it almost worth watching, but unfortunately, by the finale of the movie, even that's not enough. Without spoiling anything, the last twenty minutes or so of the movie are beyond bad - the movie enters crazytown - first there's a scene with the oddest cinematography, followed by a series of ridiculous plot points, followed by an ending that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.It would be nice to see Ms. Chabert in something with a decent plot and a solid ensemble.

Having gone into the film expecting Liam Neeson's new picture, what I received was beyond words.I've watched many films throughout my life, and this is, without a doubt, absolutely THE WORST FILM I've ever had the misfortune of watching.What's wrong with it? Everything. Appallingly made, dreadful scripting, abysmal acting, nonsensical plot, seemingly random music, no sense of direction, and full of time-wasting filler scenes.If I can stop one person watching it, I will have been pleased. I will never, ever get back the 90 minutes I lost watching this.In essence, the film is NON-STOP ****.

So many improbable plot twists you'll be amazed! That said, I stayed until the end!! The lead actress Lacey Chabert could be Sarah Michelle Gellers sister. She plays an administrative assistant who is sent on an overseas flight for some unknown nefarious reason. Even as she boards, she's thrown into a series of events that wouldn't happen in real life: The bitchy stewardess and overly helpful new steward, both of whom share info no person fearing for their job would; The pushy new-ager; The even pushier drug salesman! The guy who makes (successful) advances on her!! The overly interested Interpol agent. I'm not sure why they let the writer throw so many people at the heroine, most of whom any normal person would have avoided after the first contact! And I didn't mention them all, nor the list of improbable events (she gets into the pilot's cabin - post 9/11?? The police not locking down the plane and losing the 2nd hijacker?). As I said, i stayed and watched the end - surprisingly - and was entertained by Ms Chaberts performance, and, well, the plot(s)!

What a bizarre little movie. Lacey Chabert plays a recently-jilted woman on a transatlantic flight full of weirdos. The airline has a logo very similar to that of Aerosmith, which amused me. There's a mystery about a disappearing passenger she made out with after knowing for five minutes as well as a plot about a brotherhood of terrorists...or something like that.The quality of the acting varies. Some I'm sure were intentionally eccentric (Betsy Russell, Veronica Cartwright). Others not so sure (Bo Svenson, Will Kemp). Then there's the outright terrible (Drew Seeley, David Lipper). Chabert does fine and portrays her character as a little emotionally unstable which actually adds an extra layer of interesting to the proceedings. There's a sense of disquiet about it all early on and this is in large part due to her character being so...off. About midway through it becomes a slightly more traditional Turbulence or Flight Plan type of air thriller. But the moments of weird never go away, as the bizarre supporting cast keeps popping up like hiccups in the plot. Just as Chabert is investigating her little mystery on board the plane, here comes Betsy Russell telling her to sit down for the millionth time or some random other guy I don't know the name of who seemed to only be in the movie so he could be a momentary red herring. Chabert even refers to him as "that guy" so I'm not sure what the heck his character's name is.It's a movie filled with offbeat characters. A crazy bearded guy who seems obsessed with Lacey at the airport only to disappear from the movie altogether, a rude stewardess with a drinking problem, a boyish steward fresh out of acting school who never seems to blink, a kooky old lady who claims she's an empath, a little blonde girl and her Hispanic nanny, a fat guy who doesn't want anybody sitting next to him, a supposed Interpol agent, and a mysterious Brit who seduces our heroine with ease. "Heroes" fans might enjoy seeing Ando (James Kyson) playing an airline employee who doesn't seem to know the meaning of personal space.The confrontation where Chabert learns the truth behind the mystery is risibly directed -- with the camera zooming in & out, jerking all around while the bad guy does all of his acting with his eyebrows. A character chases another in slow speed and inexplicably trips over a shoe with unintentionally comical results. Just when you think it's all over, look out -- there's a hilariously cheesy cat and busty mouse sequence where Lacey fulfills her cleavage quota that, if not already in her contract, should always be.I want to give them credit for making a weird movie but I'm not sure how much of it was intentional. There are moments where it seems like certain actors are winging it. Other moments where the director lingers on certain scenes like he forgot to yell cut. The hardest part in reviewing this movie is trying to figure out if the movie's oddness is intended or a byproduct of a poorly made film. At least it's like nothing else you'll see from Lifetime or LMN or whatever. If you have the patience it's definitely worth checking out and deciding for yourself.
