Is this a comedy or a disaster movie?

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2011)

I figure that the people who made this movie couldn't decide so they tried to cover both bases but didn't succeed in covering either. Make it a mixture of Airport and Airplane they said so he tried his best but unfortunately included a large dose of stupidity that wasn't in the originals. I thought the scenes with John Cusack driving the limo one foot ahead of the disintegrating earths crust beggared belief. But then I saw the scenes with the plane flying (for some unknown reason) about 100 ft above the ground dodging the collapsing skyscrapers were even worse. The carping second husband role was an overused stereotype that added nothing to the movie and the oft repeated 'don't say I'm a pilot' or words to that effect became annoying. So if you enjoy movies that are 5% plot, 5% acting and 90% special effects then this could be for you. It might help if your taste is all in your mouth (no offense).
