Amy Heckerling's vision of Alicia Silverstone's Cher and her clique provide an outrageous pallet to showcase the vernacular and high fashions of the 90s mall teen. This is the best film adaptation of a novel I've ever seen. And the ending makes me cry every time I see it. The ultimate chick flick. Of course the cons hijack the plane, and Cage plays along till he can get help.
Inconsistencies abound, but taken as a comedy-thriller it flies on by.
Hang on for the ride of your life because CON AIR is in flight. He harangues his customers with all his wacky ideas of machinations. A quirky and mesmerizing performance by Gibson sets the pace for this uneven thriller that at once seems to be a hallucination and a comedy. It starts out beautifully, but then switches into hyper drive and loses its way from reality. She scores again with this film based on a novel by the Carl Sagen.
