Reviews
Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
okierover My friends and I quote lines from this movie incessantly. I watched "The High and the Mighty" from 1954 and it is a boilerplate for the jokes in Airplane. You'll laugh at both as watch.
adonis98-743-186503 Still craving for the love of his life, Ted Striker follows Elaine onto the flight that she is working on as a member of the cabin crew. Elaine doesn't want to be with Ted anymore, but when the crew and passengers fall ill from food poisoning, all eyes are on Ted. Airplane is a 1980 comedy starring Robert Hays, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Leslie Nielsen and Otto. The first time that i watched this film to be honest i didn't know what to expect but i died laughing the movie has scenes where there's incredibly lots of sweat to a massive slap gatherings like i mean it's freaking insane. If you loved The Naked Gun movies or Hot Shots Airplane! is the film for you and your friends!!!
IAmTheZump A thoroughly enjoyable comedy full of crude, rude, and offensive jokes that made me laugh and then made me feel very guilty afterwards. Probably not one for the kids, but pretty darn great for everyone else.
huggibear Minor spoilers included: So, it's 2017 and I'm just watching this movie. Maybe the humor from the 80's was better experienced then and could be more appreciated then as opposed to now, but I didn't find this movie all that hilarious. I found it silly and more like slapstick humor. It was alright. I liked the plot though. The synopsis on the top of this website page is quite vague saying that the man is afraid to fly. It's only because of his past military experience and his flashback of them that he is not comfortable with flying. Sometimes tragedy and life experiences cause us to fear. But he was brave enough to get on the flight as his intention was to work out the relationship he had with his girl, who just happened to be a flight attendant. So he proceeded to buy a ticket and board the same plane so he could be with her. She was going to dump him. To me, this was a sweet way to work out the kinks in their relationship that was going 'who knows where'. Did it work? Did he become 'THE' hero and/or 'HER' hero? That's for the viewer, you, to decide if you choose to watch it. It's decent, but if you want laughter, watch 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' as a throwback comedy that's got all kinds of emotions for ya. It's a very funny and touching movie with Steve Martin and John Candy. Either way, you choose!
