Cinematical's review of 'Life in Flight'


Cinematical's review of "Life in Flight." It's a tiny bit more enouraging than the reviews posted here on IMDB.

Here's part of it:

"At a running time of 78 minutes, there do seem to be some very large holes in the story that Hecht had plenty of time to fill in. Rashida Jones of The Office plays Christine's best friend and fellow over-privileged housewife; she's only in a couple of scenes and her presence in the story isn't really explained, as she disappears in the second half. In addition, the story of why Kate and her idiot brother have a conflict -- and a problem with their mother -- isn't really explored. In fact, I wanted to know a little more about Kate, since her love of life is what brings Will around. As it is now, she's no more than a Dharma to Will's Greg.

Wilson does a nice job making Will look like more than a henpecked husband. Smart, on the other hand, doesn't make for a convincing upwardly-mobile bitch. She doesn't have the range to make Catherine seem wicked and sympathetic at once, and when she gets emotional near the end of the film, it's not very convincing. What does work, though, is the chemistry between Wilson and Collins, which helps the viewer root for both of them to find what they want in life."
