On a Wing and a Prayer (2023)

Review by mdcollinsbarracuda

On a Wing and a Prayer

8/10

if you think the movie was bad wait till you read the reviews

I often read the reviews after watching a movie because they can be entertaining and even give you a new perspective. But almost every review here is criticizing that it wasn't technically accurate. Guys the movie is titled on a wing and a prayer not technically accurate emergency landing documentary. This film is about a man who had lost his faith and then who felt God saved him and his family. So now that you know what the movies about, I hope y'all go back and remove these ridiculous redundant verbose reviews about how it's not technically accurate. I've never been so disappointed in reviews in my life. Yes the acting wasn't great although it actually wasn't bad. Dennis Quaid is the name we all know and I really appreciate him being in a film that is Christian-based. We should have more of these wonderful actors putting their name on Christian-based films like Denzel Washington Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson. The woman who played his wife has been in other shows and I was a little surprised that she seem to play this as a comedy act, or maybe it was just the ridiculousness of an belting a 200 pound human being in front of a flight array . There was a lot of little things that I'm sure may have been added for drama and interest. But for those who say the kids on the bikes were ridiculous and unrealistic, I beg to differ when I was a kid on a bike I went many places I wasn't supposed to go and outsmarted a lot of security officers and police officers who thought I shouldn't be there. This is what kids do . I did think it was ridiculous that the teenager had a peanut allergy reaction when everyone knows that having such an allergy makes you read ingredients very carefully before you eat it's not after. I did feel the film took too long to get going while they try to intro the characters , but all in all it was telling a based on real life story about a man who lost his faith and then regained it in a time of near disaster. I repeat this is not a technically accurate documentary. The reviews here are common for a well-known actor who attracts people who are looking for Hollywood entertainment and action instead of reviewing the film that they actually just watched. Shame on all of you for your immature responses. And to the review who called it dribble, the term is drivel.
