That was an excellent one.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This was a run-of-the-mill kidnapping on an aeroplane movie. Though not the best of them, it's not the worst. I didn't find it funny, for those that did it may have been laughable, but it certainly isn't up there of being that bad it's that laughable. Maybe it was also because their attempts at humour and story were not exactly on key or in the right place. At least the group of young people on the plane were young adults in their twenties rather than teenagers which could have been dead annoying. As I said, not the best but not the worst. Worth watching at least once and you can decide for yourself.

If you are familiar with the filmography of director Jim Wynorski (who here uses his oft-used pseudonym "Jay Andrews"), you probably know that this is one director who focuses on quantity rather than quality. And if you are familiar with the movies coming from Cinetel Films - "Crash Landing" being one of them - you know that they put out B movies cheaper and cheesier than those from other companies. To be fair, this movie isn't the worst to come from Wynorski or Cinetel. There's a minimum of stock footage used, though there's one bit showing a train that is shown mirror image, meaning the writing on the train is backwards! Some of the CGI special effects look shabby, but some look okay for what was a real cheap budget. The airplane interior looks decent, and the movie does move at a pretty brisk clip. But the action is sparse and dull, Sabato and Pare both give pretty one-note and boring performances, the female lead is annoying, and the various plot turns are pretty predictable. Still, it could have been a LOT worse.

My suggestion..... This movie was really intended to be a "comedy",wasn't it?!!!! If not, the producers, directors, actors & "hair stylists" should really choose another career! Now, the guidelines of my submission requires a minimum of "10 lines". How in the world can I add any more to this? Hmm...Let me see. Oh yes, the beginning of the movie was quite hilarious with the "crash landing" scene. Too bad that the plane didn't hit the tanker truck & a bunch of "martians" would have scrambled out from the wreckage (obviously hiding) and decided to take over the "world" planet and make a better movie. Now, that would have been a great beginning!T

I should have gone without seeing the movie after reading the review here. I saw the whole movie by fast forwarding and ended in 25 minutes. though its a low budget movie it could have been made better. The movie starts more like a thriller and in few minutes it tells you that you should switch off immediately. And why was the movie named "crash landing" when it was landed so well in such a bad climate. Without any acting, all the characters where just moving or doing like kids.And should not forget to comment on the joker - the main hijacker who would have been more suitable if this movie was a full time comedy.
