Life in Flight is truly full of badly written characters and horrific messages. Great- end a marriage and FAMILY because he's a bad communicator, and he's "unhappy". He can't communicate with his son because his wife bullies him away from it?? Come on... So then he turns away from both of them. He even admits that he "pretended" to want the career advancement that his wife is fighting, on their behalf, for. Why lie in the first place? And then run off with a woman that can't tell pigeons from sparrows, who obsesses with him on the basis of a few conversations. Heads up, lady, if he does this to his wife and son, he'll do it to you, too. How can this be an "Inspiring family drama?" If you have the least sense of moral responsibility, don't waste your time.

Small movie set and filmed in New York. Watched it on Netflix streaming.Patrick Wilson is Will, up and coming architect who has received a fair bit of notice. His small group is working on a big project with a large firm, and for two years they have been courting each other. Will expects to sign with them.His wife is Amy Smart is Catherine. She seems to be a good match, they have a small boy of 7. But Catherine is a bit pushy, driving forward Will's career move. It would be good for them, and would make her happy.But Lynn Collins (of Klein High in Houston) is Kate, an independent designer, that comes on board as part of the bigger project. Kate just wants to get established, but Will is taken by her unusual outlook, and helps him see things he has never noticed before. Like the flocks of pigeons that fly about from the work site. Thus the title of the movie, "Life in Flight." The movie is not Earth-shaking, and lasts less than 90 minutes. But it is a nice story about figuring out what you really want to do. Plus we like Patrick Wilson, and don't miss any episodes of his 2011 TV series, "A Gifted Man." Spoiler: At contract signing time Will can't go through with it, he really knows then that it isn't what he wants to do. He wants to live more, spend more time with his wife and son. But it doesn't work out that way, Catherine takes it as a personal affront that he backed out of the merger, and it breaks up their marriage. As the movie ends we see that Will and Kate have a chance to explore their mutual attractions, after she turned down a job in Los Angeles, preferring to stay in New York.

Seriously one of the worst, most clichéd, extremely boring and annoying movies I've seen in a long long time. The movie ran only 78 minutes and felt like five hours. The script was just awful. The acting not much better. Who let this vanity project get out to the public? All involved should be ashamed and the screening committee at Tribeca should hang their heads low for letting this into the festival. It really tarnishes Tribeca's reputation. You would not want to know or associate with any of the characters in this movie, if they came anywhere near, you would run really fast the other way. They are stupid, vapid and walking clichés, with not an interesting thought or aspect to their beings. The ones that are supposed to be better are even stupider and more empty. While watching the film one can perfectly understand and sympathize with whomever came up withe the slogan "die yuppie scum" . The movie takes place in New York City and uses many familiar locations, the only entertainment value I found as a New Yorker was trying to identify where each shot was filmed . But let me tell you that lasted split seconds so don't even think of going for that reason. It is an insult to New York, New Yorkers and the Tribeca Festival. I really don't like being this harsh on a film because I know no one sets out to make a bad film and everyone works extremely hard to make it all happen. But I felt really ripped off of $15 x3. Why, after seeing the final product would anyone so carelessly and arrogantly consider unveiling it to the public and having them pay for it to boot, while so many good Independent films never get this kind of exposure or even get made.

Just saw the premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, with all the people there (and all the blocked off seats...us $15 ticket buyers could only sit on the side or the last two rows) you would have thought it was some big to-do. But honestly, about the worst movie I've seen in a long time. Every possible bad movie cliché is in this one, including the flock of birds referred to in the title (spoiler alert...the birds turn out to be...PIGEONS!!!). And then the obligatory shrewish wife, unhappy husband, the other woman, so and so forth. The directors' commentary afterward was completely inane..turns out the characters are supposed to be on some continuum of fear that we all have, which is why the characters have similar names like "Kate" and "Catherine." I didn't see that one coming!How this movie ever got made is beyond me. Fly far away from this one.
