Deadly Mile High Club (2020 TV Movie) User Reviews

Laughable and the worst lead actor Lifetime has ever cast

[metfan412 · 3/10 · 6 May 2020]

The lead actress was ok, but holy fedora people, was the lead actor "Jake" terrible. I can't tell what was worse, his acting or the script. Let's call it a tie! Like his mother and law said, the IQ of a donut. Oh, and shave the back of your neck.

So many ridiculous parts, like no investigation into Gonzo's crash. How about how the wife found the models address by searching license plates!!!!

I only gave it a 3 star rating because of the different storyline involving planes, and the lead actress's performance with such a flawed script. If you watch this strictly for a comedy, then it should get a 7.

Unlikable Lead

[aweirdsylvia · 5/10 · 3 May 2020]

While it has a lot of cliche LifeTime tropes, the concept is at least cool. I wanted to enjoy this movie, but they writers made the lead such an unlikable guy who seems to have never heard of self-accountability, or know what rational thinking is. Hard to like the movie when you constantly want something back to happen to the main character. Overall, movie's okay.

The title should be Stupid Mile High Club

[ocieprima · 3/10 · 28 June 2020]

I'll admit: Lifetime movies are fun to watch because of the sexy actresses. It's a guilty pleasure to watch how nonsensical these films are, because much of what's on TV now is pure crap. Lifetime used to make movies with better narrative storytelling, but now it's as if all the network cares about is whatever can get the most views. So, on to the review of this film. Allison McAtee is definitely the main reason I watched this so-called "movie". She's beautiful, sexy, and seemingly smart, but her facial expressions when she's showing certain emotions are....Weird. She's treating this role as if it's the role of a lifetime, and it's not. Long story, this film is just another wannabe Fatal Attraction that Lifetime reworks over and over again, which is what Robert McKee was alluding to about Hollywood leftovers. Anyways, take a look for yourself and you'll see what I mean-that's if you don't watch Lifetime movies.

NEGATIVE BUCKET LIST ITEM FULFILLED

[wsussman-73225 · 1/10 · 3 May 2020]

This quick synopsis of Deadly Mile High Club is an actual repeat of a text I sent my friend first thing this morning. The text went as follows:

"My life took one more step towards being complete. Last night I saw and witnessed the worst Lifetime Movie ever made. There are no actual words to describe it. I actually have to see it again as soon as possible to make sure that it was as bad as I say and also to make certain that I was not dreaming."

For some reason I get a pretty strange kick watching most of these sub par efforts. And they are sub par efforts. Even the ones that hold my attention never disappoint because they always make sure to run out of their 2 hour time allotment with the worst endings ever. When there is about 4-5 minutes left I begin to laugh because there is no way in hell that it is going to be wrapped up to my satisfaction. I guess this is part of the eerie charm these productions have.

So make no mistake. When I tell you that this Deadly Mile High Club movie is the WORST LIFETIME MOVIE I EVER SAW. Please believe me or, better yet, see for yourself ! lol!!!!

Stupidest movie EVER

[mia97417 · 1/10 · 3 May 2020]

The acting is horrible (I guess that's what you can expect from a Lifetime movie). The Annie character is so unlike able and extremely annoying. The movie is so predictable and boring.

Actor lessons needed.

[carolyndragottatersen · 1/10 · 29 June 2020]

The entire cast are the worst actors I have ever seen.

What a waste

[mikeamyspino · 1/10 · 4 May 2020]

Quite possibly one of the worst movies ever seen...even by Lifetime movie standards. Terrible, predictable acting...2 hours I'll never get back. Please, please don't waste your time on this stupid idiotic movie!

Terrible

[guilfisherjr · 1/10 · 27 June 2020]

One of the dumbest films LMN put out. Not one sympathetic character in the film. .I thought there might be some redeemable values, so watched to the end. Sorry, no spoilers. You have to find out for yourself. The acting was not that good. Handsome male lead was flat and colorless. Leading lady over the hill. She really was that annoying in her behavior and often ludicrous. Then the ingenue seemed to have a button loose and was the dullest one in the film. I couldn't help but laugh at her acting in the end. You'll see what I mean if you watch. The mother-in-law a laughable performance you couldn't wait till she was gone. I give this one star just for the courage LMN had in producing this.

Watchable and different

[phd_travel · 7/10 · 29 May 2020]

The wacko of the week is a flight instructor who falls for a flight student. At least the set up is a bit different. The lead actress is a little older but pretty. Funny parts include the mother in law and the framing of the wife. The climax in the air is quite exciting by Lifetime standards. Funny end/.

The lamest movie I've seen in months...

[FLAPS20 · 1/10 · 6 May 2020]

Too obvious. All the anticipation of what's about to happen, is too obvious. The flying scenes not realistic enough even for my 10yo nephew. Acting is really bad, the script it horrible, the story is so stupid... What a waste of money and time.

Pure delight and laughter

[mkeshish-196-255243 · 8/10 · 29 May 2020]

Wow. This one was one for the history books. As a longtime Lifetime lover, this hit all the right notes. If you are looking for an hour and a half of jaw dropping laughs, settle in and enjoy the ride.

I don't know how people could give this bad ratings because in doing so meant they watched it as a serious drama. That is a little mind boggling to me, but ok. Anyone watching it for a laugh, though, buckle up.

Just switch off for a while

[julian-kendrick-451-691654 · 6/10 · 4 May 2020]

A decent Lifetime movie, over the top unbelievable situations , unremarkable actors with perfect physic's and a straight forward psycho crush story.

You kinda know what you are going to get with a Lifetime offering, only this one has that tongue in cheek a little further back than usual and one scene that actually made me laugh intentionally so!

Yes, it is "another one", but I found it enjoyable and not boring at all.

Salacious title, stupid movie!

[LifetimeUncorkedPodcast · 1/10 · 4 May 2020]

If you love pink fedoras this movie is for you... AKA for no one.

Despite the title this movie as not sexy at all. Almost felt like a porno with out the sex. The women were written as one dimensional and stereotypes. The leading man was hot and maybe playing dumb but came off uncharismatic and boring.

WORST MOVIE EVER

[mmeleca-83745 · 1/10 · 11 May 2020]

I NEVER write reviews but I made an account just so I can write a review on this movie. I feel like when you watch a lifetime movie you know going into it that it's going to be cheesy, but this was on another level. Worst acting I've ever seen, terrible story line and scenes. And the filming of the planes like come on... you literally attached a camera to an RC car. Like I can't believe I sat through it. Don't watch it unless you want to laugh at it and waste 2 hours

I can't stop laughing

[xquisitex · 3/10 · 22 February 2021]

Okay so hear me out if you are buzzed and need a laugh watch this! It's so terrible it's great, and I mean Terrible. From the acting, to the ugly pink fedora outfit, to the terrible green screen when the accident happens I just couldn't stop laughing.

Terrible!

[valmar-35175 · 1/10 · 27 June 2020]

Terrible plot, terrible choice acting! Waste of 2 hours!

Who writes this rubbish? 😂😂😂

[danielplunkett · 1/10 · 10 May 2020]

Its possibly the worst load of nonsense I have ever seen in my life, it is horrifically bad. Do not watch this film unless you find humour in awful acting and writing. If I could give it a negative score I would. 😅😅😅

Predictable. Lame. Below average acting

[leendeko · 2/10 · 5 May 2020]

The beginning is okay. The sound and camera work is what can be expected and is also working out okay. Storyline is descent, and easy to follow.

The rest is hovering between bearable and horrific.

The last 5-10 minutes had the credibility of "sharknado"

Weak but entertaining...

[RosanaBotafogo · 7/10 · 24 September 2022]

A crazed flight instructor becomes obsessed with her beautiful student, using his piloting skills to destroy the people in his life and seduce him into loving her, liked it, however, it will not please the least demanding, which is not my case, Weak but entertaining... The antagonist's approach bothered me, it was forced, they could have been more subtle in the malignancy, despite the low budget, a B movie of suspense that entertains, even though it is predictable and the outcome comfortably exaggerated, I liked it, however, it will not please the least demanding, which is not my case, any pleasure amuses me, even if weak... Weak, but it entertains...

Fly the Frindly Skies

[nogodnomasters · 2/10 · 31 May 2020]

This is a silly film. Jake, who works for his mother-in-law takes flying lessons. The flying instructor has designs on Jake who can't because of his wife. The instructor has devious plans.

So bad it was laughable at times. Made for TV. Does have a clothed sex scene.

The best Lifetime movie of 2020 (so far)

[pmtelefon · 9/10 · 3 May 2020]

"Deadly Mile High Club" was everything I want in a Lifetime movie. A story played very well by a very attractive cast. This movie had one dreamy actress after another (that was balanced out by a constantly shirtless Marc Herrmann). The cast also delivers the goods acting-wise. They all give very strong performances, especially Diane Robin. Robin is terrific in this movie. There are thrills, including the cheap ones, galore in this movie. Sometimes a Lifetime movie feels rushed towards the end. This one didn't. The story develops in a very satisfying way. The story is different and very well told. "Deadly Mile High Club" is a top-notch movie, Lifetime or not.

An exceptionally stupid movie.

[tomfsloan · 4/10 · 26 May 2020]

Movies are better when they use actors. And writers too. The mother in law was amusing and the plot wasn't that bad. But the execution was lousy. The scenes leading up to and including the plane crash were horrible. i do better green screen on my iPhone. At the end, he's flying a jet, listen the propeller sound It makes. Just like in the movie Airplane. There were many more dumb and stupid things, but I'll let you the viewer enjoy seeing those. But despite everything, it was fun to watch, like a plane crash.

Not a good movie, BUT Allison McAtee is amazing

[Summadonna · 5/10 · 9 October 2020]

I have to give this movie 5 stars for the performances of Allison McAtee and Diane Robin, and for the SoCal scenery. Most of the rest of the acting is bad (especially Jake--his performance kinda ruins it), and the script and plot are terrible. But this is frickin' tour-de-force acting from Ms. McAtee. To take a horrible script and deliver the performance she gave... I am floored. She acted circles around this movie. And actually seemed to be enjoying herself. You can't take your eyes off her. And Diane Robin's energy and diction? Has she been on a kids' show yet? She's perfect!!

Meh, ok

[Chartreuse1 · 4/10 · 5 May 2020]

Psycho flight instructor loses bf named Jake in an accident and along comes another Jake that she wants to replace him with. Trouble is there's some family in the way of her plans. Cheap thrills and some bad acting couldn't save this movie, however. Would not watch again

VIEWS ON FILM review of Deadly Mile High Club

[burlesonjesse5 · 5/10 · 7 May 2020]

"Nice and smooth, all the way to full power". Hubba hubba! That's airplane speak, mild flirtation, or I guess, maybe something else.

So yeah, in Deadly Mile High Club (my latest review), there's some vintage planes, some rudder, some do to death, and some actual "mile-high club" whoopee involved (on a wooden storage box no less). Hey, a movie's gotta "get its Cinemax on" and back up its better than normal, Lifetime Network title.

Anyway, "Mile High's" pitched story involves a kooky flight instructor who tries to seduce her young student along with wrecking his dull marriage. Sexily evil Allison McAtee plays flight instructor Tanya while wide-eyed Marc Herrmann plays aspiring flight learner Jake. In verity, "Mile High" is a Lifetime flick so their performances feel like parodies of A-list actors via some theatrical releases.

With a running time of eighty-eight minutes, aviation sequences where you can tell there's no actual flying involved, and production values that would make the late Tony Scott readily roll over in his grave, Deadly Mile High Club is overripe camp perpetrated on the highest level.

Two campy examples in "Mile High" are characters that are completely over the top and/or factitious. They are Margaret (Jake's mother-in-law) and Gonzo (a rival flight instructor to Tanya). Watching their rum antics, I felt like I was taking in a comedy and not a stifling, TV thriller (which "Mile High" claims to be).

Deadly Mile High Club despite featuring some good-looking people and some sexy, absurdly innuendo, falls into so bad it's bad territory. Sans a small twist I didn't see coming, it's an uneven combo of abstaining drama, mad as a hatter terror fest, and unintentional satire. "Mile High" is like viewing Point Break if Point Break were an SNL skit. Alternate title: "Mistakes on a Plane". Rating: 2 stars.
