Even an overused and under-funny Mike Myers can't salvage this flight-attendant comedy that never leaves the terminal, let alone gets off the ground. It's not entirely the film's fault - with several comedy sequences reportedly axed in deference to increased sensitivity about airline security post-9/11, it was never likely to take flight. Still, it's hard to see what first attracted Myers and top-billed Gwyneth Paltrow to this mediocre tale of a small-town stewardess who wants to fly high with a major airline. Mercifully short, the film traces her training under Myers's tutelage, plus her run-in with a cabin rival.
