    Starts out well but it goes down fairly quickly

    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.

    Nice one, This movie is like almost reading a book.

    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.

    The message is about the journey

    I would encourage anyone who is striving, struggling, and pushing on a journey to make your life vision a reality. This movie is about what's happens when your meet with a road block on your journey to greatness. Yes, it's a movie, but sometimes movies are meant to do more than entertain there is a lesson to learn.

    A cute story

    I loved this movie. I thought it had a nice traveling charm and left me wanting to travel more. She is such a cute personality and the story overall is good. The ending isn't a home run but overall a great movie and definitely worth the time.

    Lots of unrealized potential

    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.
