anyone going to see this flight attendant comedy
with Gwyneth Paltrow?? opens March 21
they made it before Sept. 11, 2001 I think.
Looks kinda interesting but could also end up pretty tame.
The movie features Paltrow, Christina Applegate, Kelly Preston,
Mark Ruffalo, Rob Lowe, Candice Bergen and Mike Myers.
what's everyone else think?
here's some photos from the flick and poster.

So how long have you worked at a movie studio for?
Just kidding. Anyway, the movie started shooting in January of 2001. I find it hard to believe that this film had to be shelved for that long because of terrorists. It's a comedy. If a film like The Sum of All Fears can come out just a few months after the attack then this one obviously didn't have to wait a year and a half to peek it's head out into theaters, unless of course they delayed it because it sucks. I'm going with "it sucks", because the commercials make the movie look atrocious.
You'll find a lot more responses in the thread that I made about this movie last week.

This movie has been done for-ever. I can remember seeing an ad for this movie years ago. I bet more cuts have been made to this movie due to its terrible, inability to entertain rather than any airplane terrorist references.
Furthermore, good old' Miramax is making sure that this movie is one of the most disappointing ever by mismarketing it. It is being marketed as a hilarious laugh a minute comedy. This is actually a mistake, Mike Myers is only in the movie for 6 minutes (and not really all that funny anymore...). This is more of romantic comedy fare, but I suppose studios will do anything that gets them $100 Mil opening weekend, look at "Bringing Down the House".
