View From The Top (DVD)

...last night, and well whilst View From The Top may not have the same class as 'The Queen' has, this was a nice surprise package. Running for 87 minutes, it was long enough to offer some laughs and a semi-interesting storyline, and with a PG certificate you should find that this 2003 movie is suitable for most of the family. Gwyneth Paltrow takes the lead role of Donna Jensen, who after being dumped by her highschool sweetheart in a birthday card for ...
...follow her dream of becoming an air hostess. It won't take long for her dream to take off... Donna lands herself a job on one of the least classy airlines you are ever likely to see, and this is where she meets Sherry (Kelly Preston) who takes her under her wing to teach her the ropes, and as Donna has never been on a plane before you wouldn't expect it to be easy.

Review of View From The Top (DVD)

A View From The Top tells the story of a small town girl with big city dreams: Donna discovers the glamorous world of flight attending and immediately realises it's the thing that was missing from her life. She leaves behind her home town and her currently unsuccessful life and lands herself a job at an airline, though things are not exactly how she imagined they would be. Through hard work, a bit of luck and a lot of guts she works her way up and ...
...'A Journey Inside A View From The Top' is a typical behind the scenes documentary that includes cast and crew interviews, outtakes, some deleted scenes and a general look at filming. It was interesting to see the set aeroplanes as they have only one wall to allow for filming, but this is something that, though expected, you would never guess from seeing the film where it looks like an authentic, fully formed plane. The Music of A View From the Top ...

Review of View From The Top (DVD)

View From the Top is a feel good comedy about flight attendants and is great Sunday afternoon viewing! Please note, some spoilers may follow! It tells the story of Donna Jenson (Gwyneth Paltrow), a small town girl from Silver Springs, Nevada who lives with her mother in a trailer and works in the luggage department of an Asda Wal-Mart type store. Her boyfriend breaks up with her and she is sat in a bar throwing all their memorabilia away when she ...

Plot : Gywneth Paltrow stars in this light-hearted quasi rom-com as Donna, who is a young small town woman dreaming of flying high in life, quite literally. From her rural Nevada home, there is little opportunity for Donna to escape the day in, day out boredom of living in obscurity. She is inspired by a veteran flight stewardess Sally Weston, who made her way to the very top through hard work and a strong head. Donna decides this could be a massive ...

Review of View From The Top (DVD)

I found this movie to be boring. I am easily amused, but this movie just wasn't funny. I sat and watched it but found it to be a waste of time and money. It does have its moments but all in all, it's not worth watching, there are many other movies better than this one that you are better off watching and will enjoy more. ...
