Editorial Review:

Description:
Academy Award(R)-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, Best Actress, 1998; SHALLOW HAL) stars in this hilarious comedy hit about a small-town girl who's about to get a taste of the big-time world! No one thought Donna (Paltrow) 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! Also starring Christina Applegate (TV's MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), Rob Lowe (AUSTIN POWERS Trilogy, TOMMY BOY), Kelly Preston (WHAT A GIRL WANTS, JERRY MAGUIRE), and Candice Bergen (SWEET HOME ALAMBAMA, MISS CONGENIALITY), this charmingly funny treat will send your spirits soaring!

Amazon.com:
An ingeniously campy and enormously entertaining piece of fluff, View from the Top stars the impossibly lithe Gwyneth Paltrow as Donna, a white-trash girl with dreams of escaping her dead-end life by becoming an international flight attendant. Her destiny is complicated by a sweet guy (Mark Ruffalo) who just wants to live with his family in Cleveland and by a sister stewardess (Christina Applegate) who stabs Donna in the back. View from the Top doesn't take itself seriously, yet takes itself just seriously enough--Donna and the rest of the characters treat their absurdly candy-colored world as if it mattered. As Donna experiences the world and improves her fashion sense, the result is both hilarious and hilariously touching. Also featuring Mike Myers, Kelly Preston, and Candice Bergen as Donna's visionary mentor. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What A Fun Flight Title.
I watch this movie awhile back and thought it was heartwarming and funny. a real chick flick that guys can watch without rolling their eyes and going oh my, throughout the whole film, it has also good lessons to learn. Gwyneth Paltrow plays a sweet girl Donna that grew on the wrong side of the tracks so to speak and wants a better life so she starts out at low rung airplane service serving drinks to people until she sees an ad for nice airline school for a better job. this film is just wonderful ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Unbelievable
Can't believe Gwyneth Paltrow did this thing. I kept waiting for some irony. This is straight-ahead, nothing post-modern about it. As such, it's a throwback to the madcap comedies of Marilyn Monroe. Christina Applegate's role is one dimensional, as is Mike Myers'. The script is sort of barfable. Is this supposed to be Austin Powers for women?



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Highly entertaining chick flick
The sets and costumes reminded me of Down With Love.This is a very enjoyable comedy with a happy ending the girls will thoroughly enjoy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Cast-Good Movie
Definitely a good romantic comedy, View From the Top, brings to the screen the story of a young woman who gets her chance to leave home and fulfil her dream of becoming an air hostess. When she meets Mr Right, however, she'll have to do some serious thinking as to what and who is more important in her life...
View From the Top is a film about human relations, hope and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - View from the Top
Clearly intended as an inside-scoop "Chick-Flick", this retro-view of the three stewardess competitive climb to the top of the airline's industry during the '70's, is yet again another example of better-than-expected summer release style effort---from conception to delivery. The comedic performance of all cast members and particularly the three primary actresses were outstanding: Gwyneth Paltrow (Donna), Christina Applegate (Christine), Kelly Preston (Sherry), plus comedic performances by Candice Bergen and ...
