I personally thought View From The Top was a great movie. However, I was not quite sure which decade it was set in because of the big bouffant hairdos and the mini-skirts. Gwyneth Paltrow did okay as Donna, the character who had character enough to succeed even in adversity. Kelly Preston, although had a smaller role than Paltrow and Christina Applegate, was sympathetic enough to warrant more air time than she actually got.
Christina Applegate did well as Donna's sidekick and her character's strengths as well as weaknesses were portrayed quite brilliantly. Mark Ruffalo as the love interest was also well cast, and was believably sexy enough to appeal no doubt to the female viewers to whom this movie was targeted at. Candice Bergen was a joy as the figurehead of Royalty Airlines and confidante to Gwyneth Paltrow and all her scenes were clever and funny.
Mike Myers as the test giver was fair, but unpredictable. Perhaps Jim Carrey could have portrayed the character with his usual zaniness, but to each his own.
The movie stood alone and like other comedies does not need a follow-up.
