View from the Top (2003)

Empty watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. On the surface this is about women dressing pretty and serving men, and Gwenyth Paltrow and Christina Applegate are good at this, but...I really had to look hard to see that the movie had more to offer than "little person, little dreams". Don't get me wrong, it's fine to have simple dreams, and the romanticism of Paris is great for "small town" folk aspirations, but the movie leans on it pretty heavy for comedy purposes. If you peel back a couple of layers, there is a great metaphor for woman empowerment and being able to reach their goals through hard work and networking, but it is really subtle. It also doesn't help it be more enjoyable. Sure, it's sweet and charming, but it's also underwhelming. There are probably better movies involving flight attendants, but there are certainly better movies out there to watch.
