korean comedy aint easy to read...
ops-5253519 September 2020
For us westeners with our ways of life and dicipline, and aversion against hirarkistic culture and lack of respect to the parents and elders. its also hard to differ rage from love with all that husband and children spanked and beated at a daily basis, to us thats slapstick, for koreans its daily discipline...

this film though is a straight hi flying aces of comedy, with a little spy action, and airplane hijack situation, in the name of ROK. the madam in the title are actually a NOK defector, starting a disguised living , starting a family life and a child, sell pastries at the local market for a living. one day this family wins a trip to hawaii, but to get there they will need passports, and then its game on...

its trully a film with inconsistencies and some strange editing, but its full of marvelous fist fight, knife slithering and combatfighting that will impress even the squemiest among viewers. the shock and awe factor gives you room for some good laughs, fascial expressions and the bow and bend humbleness are relly entertaining and the story that aint original at all feels original because its korean made.

production is a usual very smooth and gross, the design of locations make you feel you are in a big building, with compartments that i never knew excisted on a 757 or 767 boeing aircraft. the filmo and soundwork makes belief being on the flight as a fly on the wall, and the score are just eminent and sound beautiful, and engages you from the start.

its a film about a plane that would have crashed in real life, due to pressure loss due to lack of a door in the fuselage frame, but everything works in the movies, and i think this is a great movie to watch on a saturday family get together by the screen. higly recommended by the grumpy old man.

Entertaining
nasnueho5 June 2022
It was okay and defenitely good to watch with old folks. Korean movies get quite violent/bloody in many ways. I thought this movie was good enough to watch with parents or with childs.

But if I had a chance to watch one movie a week, might not be on top list. So if your planning to watch a comical Korean movie with your folks. I think it's entertaining enough.

Funny and Great Korean Comedy-Action movie
Allvgretto13 April 2021
I truly recommend this piece of art to anyone who wants to just laugh their ass off. It's another one of those dumb movies where its good and you are just entertained the whole way.

The Guy steward is definitely one of my favorite characters in the movie and he will appear somewhat in the beginning of the movie and through out the movie so watch out for him!

Definitely recommended to anyone who wants nothing serious and laughter all the way.

Disappointed!!
Misss252 May 2021
This movie is total mess. I just wasted my time. Of course, it is not also a comedy movie. Acting was too poor. Why people are praising so much? God knows!!

Good, family-friendly

Decent comedy action. Go Watch.

I personally really liked the steward who is very earnest about maintaining the safety of the passengers by looking for suspicious folks. He has the funniest interactions with everyone. You'll see.

Unfunny for a comedy movie

When i heard about the cast and the plot it looked really interesting but it was such a disappointment to see how they were wasted, the whole movie is a mess and doesn't make sense especially how the lead character got plastic surgery to uncover her identity and the whole twist was kinda stupid , we've seen better in korean movies.

Funny and original
phd_travel29 October 2020
Uhm Jung Hwa is one of the best comic actresses and she carries this show really well. Liked the story it's laugh out loud funny and clever for a comedy. Lots of little details that are thoughtfully put together. Small characters also have their moment to shine. The action on the airplane is funny and original. Supporting cast is good too and has many familiar faces for fans of Kdrama and movies including Park Sung Woon who is usually quite serious looking and Lee Sang Yoong as a N Korean agent. 95% of this movie is funny so it's worth a watch.

Last 20 minutes is Absolute Crap!!
Rena2420 September 2020
It's just frustrating when the director cooks a good meal only to burn it down. This movie is like walking through a lily garden and ending up in a Pigsty. What a Waste.

I like this kind of action comedy movie. The plots is unpredictable and beyond my expectations. Every storyline is finish and get its answer. Good job.

Cool movie
santhosh-527613 December 2020
Mi-Young (Uhm Jung-Hwa) runs a shop at a traditional market, where she makes and sells twisted bread sticks. Her husband Seok-Hwan (Park Sung-Woong) works as a computer repairman. One day, Seok-Hwan wins a free trip to Hawaii. Mi-Young and Seok-Hwan will go on their first international trip together. When Mi-Young and Seok-Hwan get on the airplane to Hawaii, things don't go as expected. Terrorists, including Cheol-Seung (Lee Sang-Yoon), who chase after a secret agent, get on the same airplane. The passengers soon become hostages. Suddenly, Mi-Young and Seok-Hwan begin to rescue the passengers.

Simply put A Fun Movie!
Lovelypupshaina25 April 2022

I only watched this because a favorite actress of mine "Yeoh-Seo Oh is listed as being in it. The closest person to her would be the actress who is trying to hide from the public, but that is not her. If anyone wants to see a good film of hers watch "A Korean Odyssey " 2017 on Netflix. Anyway this is a light film about a simple family traveling to Hawaii as they won a price off of a bottle cap. The trip brings about all kinds of surprises like that the mother & father were top espionage agents for different sides. The fighting & discovery on the plane makes for a rather light comedy. I hat flying but I am certain that some of the fight scenes would not be possible. A plain would decompress when guns are fired inside the cabin, and the emergency door being open would also make the plane lose altitude. It is improbable that people could stand by the open door calmly what to do next. Taking that into consideration it is a fun watch. I gave it a 9 because I did not see Yeon-Seo Oh in the movie.
