Certified chick flick, but it's not too bad with Gwyneth Paltrow in her mini mini-skirts and Mike Myers with his cross eyes and Mark Ruffalo with his schoolboy charm.Story is about a young girl from Silver Springs, Nevada whose wish in life is to get out of the small town and make it big as a flight stewardess. Early on, she decides to sacrifice romance over career - "Paris, first-class, international", so goes the mantra. So she applies for Royalty Airlines, gets into the training programme, but got relegated to Cleveland, while her friend got the New York route. Turns out that her friend switched her papers. She did the test again, and this time she went straight to Royalty International. She decided to break up with her boyfriend Ted and leave because she "can't let somebody tell me that I've seen enough. Not again." Well, all those months of international traveling took their toll on her, so she goes back to Ted and admits that she "messed up" and that she "loves him". Apart from those few lines, the dialogue is pretty ok, especially with Mike Myers making the jokes. And the outakes and the "We Are Royalty" song the cast sang at the end (to the tune of "We Are Family") are not bad, too.
Moral lesson of the movie: Girls, when you find a man which is good enough, you have to start reassessing your priorities because good guys are not gonna wait forever. I know that sounds a bit chauvinistic, but hey, that's the reality of it.
