Though it starts out with a quirky sense of promise, this film about an ambitious stewardess never gets off the ground. Gwyneth Paltrow is charming and likable as the small trailer town girl that sets her sights high; but the film never actually endears us to her.

Actually, the film is almost always mildly amusing in a bland sort of way. Even Michael Myers' appearance (as the odd trainer of airline service personnel) relies almost entirely on a cheap sight gag (pun intended) for the small amount of humor he garnishes.

The film is short and feels heavily cut in the edit room, leaving even less story to help us feel for these characters. The pace skips a major beat just passed midpoint and skids into a rather formulaically embarrassing climax.

I would have given the film a "B," but that unrewarding completely unquirky ending is going to knock it down a notch.
