Don't Read This on a Plane

This movie follows a novelist on a book tour around Europe. Unfortunately, the book tour doesn't go as planned as her publisher goes bankrupt the day the novel comes out. I want to start out by saying this movie had a lot of potential. It starts out pretty well too but it all goes downhill from there. The acting is not necessarily bad but it's average at best. The music choices in this movie however totally ruined it for me. It was great at the start but then the music turns into really mediocre second-rate Hollywood romance movie music. The humor is dry if there is any. The ending/big climax of the movie was totally underwhelming as well. On the plus side, however, there are some really beautiful scenic shots of European cities but that's about it. However, if you are a writer yourself or you're a big reader, you may enjoy parts of the movie.

Is my first response to this flick. its a flight and road trip story about a young female writer, doing a booktour through europe, starting in venice, she find her hotel reservation not excisting. talking to her publisher at home she gets to know that the company is bankrupt, and the author has to make her way on her own, pennyless, the only thing that is for sure is that all her plane tickets has been prepaid, so the travel can be done anyway.

so if you like a life travelling europe, with your books in your bag and the bookworms crawling in and out of your ears this maybe a good flick for you.

productionwise, its colourfilled and with beautiful scenic views, its filmographic impression seems to me a bit colourenhanced, but well put together. the score varies a lot, starting of in a strange adventourous tone but turns over to a more cheap standard as the film develops. the outdoor shoots seems very pandemic in its surroundings, at places where you'd expect to see lots of people its deserted, and pretty calm

the acting are average, the main female caracter does a very nice job, acting wice and looking extremely good, a bit sexy you might say, and is in a good companionship with the contents of very sexually written nature of the book she's touring with, with the title'' dont read this on a plane''.

so if you need to switch of your daily stress, then this is a fun little romp of caracter development, and touring europe on a empty wallet for dummies, then the grumpy old man recommends

This was a pleasant little movie, but the attempt at light but more overt comedy (mostly centered on the main character's reading to patrons from her erotic book) often fell flat. The writing in general was not very inspired. I think the multicultural cast did well with the script they had, but the storyline and character development worked against their efforts. Overall, I thought the cast was relatively well balanced although certainly there seemed to be newcomers and perhaps some language and cultural challenges in communicating the story. On the plus side, if you traveled low budget in Europe, you will relate to aspects of this film. That could have been capitalized on. Yet, the movie is more about the main character's self discovery than travel, and I think developing more humor and empathy from her experience should have been drawn out by the writer's. As for the cinematography, I found it top notch. Many scenes were stunning.

The movie: Don't Read This on a Plane.

Isn't a movie that you will regret that you have wasted your time. Try to enjoy it like reading book, a movie that you will enjoy.

It was boring when I was watching it like a movie when I understood that I had to enjoy it like a reading a book it was very nice.

I did not regret after watching this move I hope you willl also find it interesting.

Good eye candy with the variety of locations, the music is off-putting, there are flashes of entertaining writing and the frequency of poor acting is frustrating.

Ultimately this film is unsatisfying.
