Movie, 2013Edgy grown-up comedy harking back to the director's earlier works, but lacking the bite and empathy. Much of this stems from wafer-thin characters, whose various and slightly tired sexual and religious mores seem tacked onto canvasses still, nonetheless, feeling empty. While the idea of a circling plane unable to land is a good one and there are some occasional glimmers of hope, overall, this film feels hugely formulaic and almost a self-parody. Not the director's best work by a long way; barely a cut above a Carry-On.
