Donna stammt aus bescheidenen Verhältnissen, ist ziemlich blond, aber gar nicht so blöd. Um ganz nach oben zu kommen, will sie Stewardess werden. Da sie auf ihrem Flugbegleiterinnenlehrgang unter dem strengen Regiment des Ausbilders John Whitney buchstäblich eine gute Figur macht, und alle Männer sowieso auf sie fliegen, scheint ihrem steilen Aufstieg bald nichts mehr im Weg zu stehen. Im Geiste sieht sie sich schon als elegant uniformierte Königin der Lüfte, die auf dem First-Class-Non-Stop-Flug New York-Paris ihre perfekt choreographierten Handbewegungen zelebriert. Als dann aber ihre Freundin und Kollegin Christine versucht, sie ohne Fallschirm von ihrem Karrierehöhenflug herunter zu schubsen, droht Donna eine unsanfte Bauchlandung. Kann ihre große Liebe Ted sie auffangen? (Verleiher-Text)

Such a small and annoyingly sticky candy cane. It pleases us because Gwyneth can always be cute, because Ruffalo belongs in the golden fund of current heartthrobs, and because Myers should have a patent for his uncontrollable grimaces. However, it does not please us in the clouds. Anything related to airplanes, runways, flight attendants, or stewards is filled with the hope of little girls, to the point where it cannot be taken seriously. 50%

I laughed, but at the naivety, the clichés and whether anyone could take this film seriously. Fortunately, it's quite bearable to watch thanks to Mark Ruffalo and Gwyneth Paltrow, but miracles come in other forms.

A calm and easygoing comedy. Although the story is simple and could be described as plain, it is delivered effectively and thanks to the two main actresses (Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Applegate), and the good male acting duo, it made an impression on me.

It's one of those romantic comedies with very weak or almost no humor (unless you're a fan of poor jokes about cross-eyed people - if you're making fun of such things, it should at least be very dark or even brutal humor). As for the romance, it was represented by a series of clichés. What I'd like to highlight is Christina Applegate in a swimsuit because it was one of the few moments when I smiled. And then, there was the first flight with Sierra Airlines. There's nothing better than a flight crew member who panics and desperately runs around the cabin while screaming: "We're all going to die!!". This was probably the most amusing moment of the whole movie for me. Otherwise, it was quite a snooze fest full of the clichés I mentioned earlier. I'm giving it two stars because I'm feeling benevolent. / Lesson learned: I'd rather keep my feet on the ground.
