With technology as it is today, there’s only so much that you’re able to do without an internet connection. Your plane takes off and the options that you have to watch a movie on a plane without internet to pass the time either cost extra or aren’t very appealing. We’ve all been there you’re stuck on a plane for a long flight and, as per standard procedure, you’re asked to turn off your phone or computer or place it into airplane mode.

Manoela is cute and perky and probably web-friendly. There’s a cute twist in the third act, and an utterly predictable “betrayal” or two, and “getting even” scheme.Įvery action, event and character in the movie could be predicted by a tween who has seen more than four movies in her life. That’s it, the only funny line in the entire movie. “Oh sweetie, knowing yourself is the first step to self-loathing!” (In Portuguese, with English subtitles, unless you switch to the “dubbed into English” mode.) As if the country is the only place you can “know yourself,” as Ana claims. are old folks and those “left behind,” trapped in the villages and small towns everybody else has fled. The country is where car-restorer, widowed Grandpa Germano (Erasmo Carlos) can teach her to wrench, to “make” instead of “show.” It’s where “hick” baker João, played by André Luiz Frambach, can show her the joys of being “geniune” - the simple pleasures of a country fair.Īll of this sentimental crap is straight out of the 1940s, and the only people who buy into it - in Brazil, Britain or the U.S. And sending her off to her estranged grandfather’s house in the “no cell reception” hinterlands is just a way to remove temptation from her reach. “Court ordered” loss of license, and removal of her cell phone is all there is for it. That isn’t counting the one she has the morning we meet her, or the Fiat-flipping fiasco that ends her day. How many wrecks can she have in one month? Her parents know about eight, from the DMV. If a “break-up” is good for business, that can be staged, too.īut Ana’s phone is her undoing. She’s paired up, romantically, with a stylish and stylishly flaming designer - just to get the page-views. Sure, Ana studied clothing design in school, but who has time to MAKE when just “showing” what others have made, and gushing over it in vlog posts, is so much easier? She’s insanely popular on the web, and what she wears EVERYbody must wear. “True Fashion” is her ethos and True Fashion is her Sao Paolo employer, a youthful clothing company ruthlessly run by Carola ( Katiuscia Canoro), who has Ana under contract for a reason. She seems to live at home because who has the time to move? Her life is a life-streamed/selfie-packed Instagrammed blur of fashion, makeup, staged events and staged romance. Larissa Manoela is Ana, who lives at home. So it’s an incredibly old-fashioned comedy dolled up in “this year’s fashion” accessories. It’s about cell phone addicts, “influencers,” fashion, family and finding love where the pace of life is a lot slower than in the big city. “Airplane Mode” is a shiny little rom-com bauble from Brazil that strains and strains to find a laugh.
