I do not like the manner in which The White Eastern European Man is mistreated by several black employees of these ficticious airlines/airport officials.
Most American films..this is the theme,Why does this go on in film today? -

I found myself enjoying the film for the most part, the beginning was especially delightful and I wasn't budging an eye away from the screen during the first part. I found myself breaking out in laughter several times in delight. The comedy was such good feel humor! What's most important was I was fully able to empathize and feel the whole experience through Tom's character.
However, there were spots that really brought things down, pretty much all the romance related stuff for one. Yeah right, like that lady at the desk would have accepted marriage the first time she finally met the guy face to face at the cafe. The whole fountain scene could have been amazing but what the fact that the water never worked at all just dampened the whole scene. The fact that the stewardess went for the wrong guy in the end certainly didn't help and in general her behavior was a little over the top. I did enjoy the scene where his buddies arranged for her to fall into his lap though, that was perfect!
I think this film would have been a classic had it been a bit more polished, there were so many scenes that just felt like they did things on the fly and never had time to properly decide how things happen, just very random weird stuff that left you wondering in a distracting way. The film would have needed much more editing and like someone here said, chopping 30 min off would have helped!
But will I recommend it to others? Yes - with a pinch of salt. Will I watch it again some day? Sure, some day. Would I ever buy the DVD? Naaaaah. -

This post states and answers its own questions.
"The movie has no point"
Then
"Crazy-minded officials are NOT OKAY. Even if they are "following the rules", because the rules are also NOT OKAY." "Those [crazy minded official] people are but an ugly pimple on the face of the earth."
That was the point.
The movie did NOT make 'em seem like cool guys or "sort of" ok. If you thought that, you were misled and didn't understand. So perhaps YOUR complaint was that the movie didn't make it clear enough to YOU that the terminal officials were being jerks. I got it.
It wasn't the greatest movie and it was a bit contrived, but it was in interesting concept. -

I'd just like to add that Russia has an acting tradition that is older than America, and Russia is filled with fantastic actors, who can actually execute a believable Eastern European accent, but are not annoying hams like Tom Hanks.

You, slow witted, weak chined, mama's boy are boring. The fact that you live alone with your cat is all anyone needs to know about you. The ignore button was invented for only one reason, so people could avoid you. Your family has been doing it since the day you were born, if you ever had a girlfriend she would be doing it and right now your cat is hitting ignore.
The movie was ok by the way.
