Synopsis: A technical failure has endangered the lives of the people on board Peninsula Flight 2549. The pilots are striving, along with their colleagues in the Control Center, to find a solution. The flight attendants and the chief steward are atypical, baroque characters who, in the face of danger, try to forget their own personal problems and devote themselves body and soul to the task of making the flight as enjoyable as possible for the passengers, while they wait for a solution. Life in the clouds is as complicated as it is at ground level, and for the same reasons, which could be summarized in two: sex and death.
Review: The movie is funny. The colours (green, pink) through the windows are well done and balances the image composition, even if it feels like not being in a plane. The story is funny and is mixing well stories on ground and in plane. But it is just a bit funny. One scene might be remembered, it is the song "I'm so excited!" sung by the gay stewards. Also a bit funny, is the mix of people that is at sometime any type of sex here and there. 
Rating: 5 /10
