A View From The Top

Gwyneth Paltrow isn't my favorite actress, but in this movie, she is such a sweetheart trying to reach for her dreams. I especially like the ending where she doesn't let love stop her from achieving more because most rom-com movies would leave it as an old cliche where once the girl and guy get together, that's it as if love trumps everything...

What a great movie! Made me laugh and inspired me to not give up in my own life.

awesome movie, should have a Blu Ray version but it doesn't.

This film wouldn't work at all, except Donna(Gwenyth Paltrow), and Ted(Mark Ruffalo), know how to make magic. Donna works at Big Lots, and as a retail clerk Gwenyth, as Donna, inaugurates inspiration-our eyes widen and our imaginations open up-a movie going experience. As a working teenager in Nevada, Donna hears intentions and listens to simple instructions. Donna has dreams, and she wants out of Nevada. The question is-in what direction are we going to see Donna excel? Mark Ruffalo, as Ted, also, is an ideal middle class sophisticate; in and out of school, he finally adapts and applies himself to getting a law degree. All said, in "A View From The Top" there are scenes of luxury first class airline structures when Donna becomes a flight attendant. There is comedy in sketches on flight attendee training. Finally, Donna has realized her dream of becoming a flight attendant on a first class airline-and we believe it. Donna exudes superiority in brief looks, nuanced concerns, and burgeoning expressions of gained experience. There's whimsy and joviality but it doesn't exist to fulfill any purpose, and really, we just linger in a state of mellowness. All I can say is, that when Mark and Donna are together, there is much catharsis biographied. This movie is fraught with class interchanges, passengers next to flight attendants, dreamers and wanna-bees, and expressly, novices and adult workers. To be wrapped up within the sphere of influence of the lead actors/actresses makes one think that, so, so much more, could have been squeezed out of "A View From The Top".

This film won't win awards but Gwneth Paltrow is great as an aspiring flight attendant who wants to rise to the top! Surrounded by a good supporting cast ie. the late Kelly Preston, Christina Applegate and Mark Ruffalo. Grab some popcorn, a cold drink and a curl up on the couch..you will laugh and truly enjoy this film.

I genuinely enjoyed this movie. After reading positive reviews, I read a few negative ones. However in my gut, I thought this may fit the bill for a fun movie to watch on my 52nd birthday. I was not disappointed at all. A sweet story about a young woman who is inspired to pursue a career as an airline stewardess by another very successful former Airline Attendant. As she pursues her dream she encounters many issues, a love interest and a back stabbing former friend. However she prevails through each one until she reaches the pinnacle of her successful dream. However this causes her to reflect on what she left behind and wonders if it was worth it. This movie is more funny and uplifting and just fun and sweet than dramatic. It has a love story, friend story and of course the humor of Mike Myers. Ends well and has some cute scenes at the end to enjoy. Good music too. Enjoy!!!!

I absolutely LOVED this movie! I, at one time, attended flight attendant training, so I could really relate to this movie. It's basically a "chick flick" and has a great line-up of some big name stars...Gwyneth Paltrow who was absolutely gorgeous & had her character down to a science, then there is Candice Bergen, awesome & amusing as ever, Rob Lowe, Christina Applegate & the late Kelly Preston ( prior to her untimely death)--just to name a few. Good storyline, nothing real deep--just an entertaining, enjoyable, "feel good" movie! If you love Gwyneth Paltrow, you will LOVE this movie! I highly recommend it! Cute movie!

This was not oscar tell your coworkers/friends worthy flick. But it was cute. It kinda reminded me of another airline movie I saw with Jane Wyman in it that I posted a review to, except this one has a modern twist/theme to it of course. And while it was overall an ok movie the ending seemed very very contrived in a rather strange way. While most of my reviews point out the liberal bias in these movies and tv shows I would have to say this movie kinda forced me to say "Why did she have to give up her career?" I mean she was a flight attendant. He was so busy putting himself through law school he didn't see her . . . as he had that second job delivering pizzas. So why did she have to sit there watching tv waiting for him to come home? Why did her decision have to be one of whether she loved him. Maybe it is because she just walked off and didnt try . . . dunno. But I would think that that movie would have ended on a better footing if he finished up school and moved to NY to practice law so she could work. They would even see more of each other. But here I am acting as if these people are real. They are not. So i guess I am saying if I had written the screenplay I could have wrapped it up better than it was.

Good quality picture dvd delivered quickly. The film itself is DREADFUL. Just HORRIBLE. Although that's the reason I bought it after ready Richard Ayoade's book about the film. So I recommend buying this film AND Ayoade's book to read afterwards. That combo will make you piss yourself.

If you are thinking about buying this I hope you are also buying Richard Ayoade’s excellent companion book (Ayoade on Top). The two together work excellently.The film is awful and deserves the humour treatment given to it by RA.It has almost no redeeming features, but is much more enjoyable with your tongue firmly wedged in your cheek.

Bought this for my wife as a cheer-her-up during a stressful time, ex-cabin crew herself, did the job, funny, love story, women being bitchy, theiving from airlines, oh it's rife, but overall a brain in neutral chick flick that did wot I bought it for!

I bought this to go with the Richard Ayoade book Ayoade on top, which is a satirical review of this movie. Not expecting much I really did quite enjoy the film. I've not yet read the book so it will be interesting to make comparisons.
