Where to start with this show...All the scripts that were denied from all the crappy sitcoms were sent to the "Unfabulous" set and filmed and packed for the American airwaves.It's an overall disappointing look into the next generation's ideas,relationships,and society so unbelievably sugar sweet,it's diabetic.Emma Roberts plays Addie,a thirteen year old who plays her guitar and writes songs about the current situation she's in.The songs suck,and forgive me if I had too high of an expectation for halfway decent lyrics from a thirteen year old,that's my fault.None of this show comes close to reality.Tell me,between an average of homework taking 2 to 3 hours,including chores,hygienic needs as well as eating,and going to school,she can find time to write,compose,and play a song or two?The acting is best compared to a third-grade play and a last minute replacement was forced to learn the lines within a short period.The show is one-dimensional and so are the characters.And I find it disturbing that when the characters are in a relationship,they act like an old,married couple.The female is dominate and the male assumes no authority.So if you want to kill a half an hour,watch the future of America and get really worried when you realize these are the people who will control everything when we're senior citizens.(Hamburglar Milkshake!!!)

Wow!Where to begin with this poor excuse of a movie?The Dennis Quaid character is a jerk,and has no sight of the real issues at hand.Several people who were just discharged from their jobs at an oil drilling site are flying home.Before take-off,it is made abundantly clear that their weight capacity is met when they allow the eccentric Elliot(Giovanni Ribisi)on-board.Elliot supposedly overloads weight capacity of this twenty year old plane that looks already damaged,and while the plane is crossing the Gobi desert,they hit a rock formation,and unable to recover,go down.This movie is a human story,so for the action buffs,there's few exciting moments,and for sympathizers,there's no character to feel sorry for.Everyone is so egotistical and the clashing of egos when near death is upon them,was absurd.Quaid was the most annoying because he basically takes credit for the saving of the people,and when blame is issued,he virtually receives none for his wrong doing.The smartest character is Elliot,and when the smartest character is the most hated by the very people he's trying to save,no one can save this dismal film.I suggest that those who see this film be ready not to take it so seriously,and enjoy my personal favorite scene when they show the body of the guy who wanders out during a sand storm.Apparently in the desert,you compose to near skeleton after about an hour or two after death.Good for laughs that aren't supposed to be there,but bad for a meaningful story.
