View From The Top , a good blind buy ?

I was wondering if it was any good ? It's going for $8.99 at a local video store. They had several copies, and looks as if they have never been rented. Thanks for any info.

Hmmm . . . a friend of mine and I liked it, but she was a flight attendant and I travel a lot for business, so we both had some insight into the subject matter that others might not . . . I would think that, for the average watcher, it could be, but definitely not a guarantee . . .

I just bought my copy for $ 7. I haven't seen the flick but for $ 7 why not to try? I've heard it wasn't bad. We'll see.

I thought the movie was pretty good. It was definitely better than what I was expecting.

I thought it was good, but the trailer was a little deceiving...it made it out to be a screwball comedy, but I thought it was more of a light hearted drama with some odd comedic moments.

I can see that the movie is really bad, but I liked it anyway. It helps that I like Gwynneth Paltrow in pretty much anything. I haven't purchased it yet, but if I saw prices like that I probably would.

It wasnt great but it could have been worse. Mike Myers was the best part. Its a cute film. I'd suggest picking this up if you see it cheap.

I wouldn't buy it. Rent it first, it was pretty mediocre, nothing that I'd ever watch again.
