On a Wing and a Prayer (2023)

Review by Simply-Red

On a Wing and a Prayer

7/10

A good clean movie

I was expecting a disaster flick and had no idea of the true story this was based on, so I didn't come to this with any ability to compare to the real story and be hung up on that.

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie on the fact that it was just good, clean stuff. I am not offended by foul language, but it was nice that this movie had none.

My guess is, that "cleanliness" combined with some God in this movie is what drives some people to hate it. This is the kind of movie that stands apart from the sex, violence, language, etc. Society comes to expect in entertainment.

I'm not providing a spoiler here because the true story is available for anyone to know, but the only content that may not suit children is the fear of a plane crash and the death of an elderly pilot by natural causes. If your kids can handle that, they can handle this movie.

There are some moments when it verges on almost cringe-worthy cheesy Hallmark "gusher" moments, but right on the edge, not over the top.

If you want a break from the violence and debauchery in movies, this flick provides that...if you are open to it.

Hopefully you are an intuitive person and found reviews like this, because if you go with the default listing order here all you will see are the haters.
