Full Plot Details

Donna Jensen was raised literally and figuratively on the wrong side of the trailer park in Silver Springs, Nevada. She always believed it was her destiny to get out of Silver Springs. After reading Sally Weston's book, Sally who is arguably the most famous now ex-flight attendant in the world, Donna believes the path to leaving Silver Springs is to become a flight attendant despite never having been on an airplane. After an initial bumpy start to this career, Donna shows a natural flair for the job, so much so that she applies to work for world class Royal Airlines, where Sally Weston mentors. After meeting Donna, Sally believes Donna is destined for flight attendant greatness, namely working first class in the New York-Paris flights. Donna believes in herself as a flight attendant, but has to overcome some obstacles, including flight attendant trainer John Witney, who has some hidden anger issues, and her friend Christine Montgomery who also wants to be a great flight attendant despite not having Donna's aptitude at it. In her path to the top of the profession, Donna also has to decide where Ted Stewart, the man with who she falls in love, fits in, he a law student based in the airline flight backwater of Cleveland.

Movie Reviews

Dallas Morning News - 9/10 by Philip WuntchVirtually every cliché and stereotype is on parade, culminating in the career-vs.-love choice.
TV Guide - 9/10 by Maitland McDonaghFrankly, the film's nostalgia for the "coffee, tea or me?" era of flying, when stewardesses were fantasy figures in soaring heels and uniforms tailored for bust enhancement rather than utility, is retro in all the wrong ways.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura Clifford"View from the Top" stays stranded on the runway, denied takeoff. It's got all the appeal of a bag of stale peanuts.
Internet Reviews - 8/10 by Steve RhodesThis sweet little comedy is a coming-of-age, small-town-girl-makes-good saga. ... Rooting for an underdog that you expect will win is always satisfying even if the result is never really in doubt.
Ebert & Roeper - 8/10 by Richard RoeperIt's just sweet and light, but it's got kind of giddy charm to it ...
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertAdult audiences may be underwhelmed. Not younger teenage girls, who will be completely fascinated.
Denton Record-Chronicle - 8/10 by Boo AllenAs flight movies go, this one ranks with "Sky King." Severe turbulence.
New York Observer - 8/10 by Rex ReedThe characters have no wit or charm, the plot has no conflict or development, nothing happens for any reason other than script requirements.
Reel.com - 8/10 by Pam GradyThe cast's talents alone can't save the film from its awkward tonal shift and a story that feels out of sync with the modern era that it's set in.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Stephanie ZacharekThere's a good chance that it will make you laugh, but even if it doesn't, you have to give Barreto credit for respecting his audience. The movie's jokes have a light, springy touch; if one doesn't tickle you, it sails by quickly to make room for the next one.
