Life in Flight


I completely blanked on the name of this film and then I thought, “Oh right, the pigeons”. Life in Flight was a less heart-warming version of an ABC Family movie. Cute successful guy meets cute successful quirky girl and eventually we know what will happen. Except in this case the guy is married and has a son so its no longer family-friendly material.

The story was pretty ho-hum and some of the dialogue was awful. Cute guy’s wife, played by Amy Smart, was an absurd character but that might just be a mixture of bad dialogue and less than stellar acting. The 30-something stay at home mom ended up looking like a petulant teenager in most scenes. Cute guy, played by Patrick Wilson, was average until he started spouting out the ridiculous dialogue. The best performance by far was the adorable Lynn Collins as cute guy’s love interest. She makes me want to be a redhead.

Life in Flight wasn’t an unpleasant hour and it definitely gets extra points for not being a depressing film. But we’ll probably forget about by next week.
