A comedy about a young woman from meager beginnings, who has high hopes for the future. Donna (Gwyneth Paltrow) dreams of becoming a first-class international flight attendant and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that her dreams come true. The road to success, though, is rarely a smooth flight, and as she begins her trip she encounters more turbulence than even she bargained for.

Critics Consensus

Uneven in tone and badly edited, A View From the Top wastes the talents of its cast and condescends to its characters.

A flat, superficial comedy that never establishes a tone.

View for the Top is one of those movies I saw years ago and, every now and then, I sit back and wonder, "Wait a minute - did that really happen?"

Too sweet to be truly funny and too over-the-top to be truly charming.

a really cute, really underrated movie that will make you laugh and smile. the only bad part is mark ruffalo. it's amazing to see these early films and realize just how lousy an actor he's always been. other than that, it is definitely worth a watch and iot's free on youtube right now!
