funny directing goof..


So, in the scene where Harry and Nick are about to fly their
way to Bratz ("Where the hell is Bratz?"), they end up in one
of those old Soviet era workhorse aircrafts that were never
really intended for passengers.. I know, I've flown a couple
of them from Kuwait to Prague, they don't even bother to put
down carpet over the temp. bolt down seats, etc. So, the
director is trying to convey this is the flight from hell,
with a barely comatose pilot at the stick, taking them through
all sorts of turbulence, etc. At one point, to highlight the
chaos, they show a scene of the passengers sitting as well as
standing in the aisles, rolling hard side to side as if the
wings were pitching up and down. Problem is, only the passengers
in the seats are faking the motion, the folks standing up are
basically standing up straight and still, so if you ignore the
phoney rolling motion of the camera, and just watch the seated
folks relative to the standing ones, it's quite hilarious!!
And they do all seem to have this look on their face, like
"What the hell are we supposed to be doing for this crackpot?"
Sometimes cheezy can be fun, I love this little film!
