On a Wing and a Prayer Reviews
This may be a true story, but its drama veers closer to Airplane!-like hysterics and parody of faith-tested films down to song choices and all the references to Heather Graham's special sauce.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 15, 2023
On a Wing and a Prayer never justifies the scale and scope of film as its form, operating more like a high-budget TED Talk.
| Original Score: 1.8/10 | Jun 2, 2023
Dull faith-based film.
| Original Score: C- | Apr 19, 2023
Because so much of this plays out like a made-for-온라인카지노추천 movie, it’s hard to feel many of the emotions.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 19, 2023
At times, the script inadvertently approaches slapstick Airplane! territory, while a subplot that ends with two children cycling onto the runway is just daft.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 18, 2023
The promise of a "true" story drags you into the film and turns your emotions loose. Quaid has found his director person in Sean McNamara.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 17, 2023
Throw in slow-mo as the go-to whenever something potentially really emotional is about to happen and the end result is a real cinematic trainwreck.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 13, 2023
Donna might be an overall irritant, but at least one of her comments sums up the movie pretty well. At a particularly discouraging moment in the White family flight, when everything looks bleak, she observes, “This is, like, so bad."
| Original Score: D | Apr 13, 2023
I hope your family gets to experience this prayerful, moving film together and come out with a smile on your face and a little more faith in your heart.

Chalk this up to a predictable outcome and some heavy-handed faith-based messages and anthems wedged into On a Wing and a Prayer.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2023
It’s a film glorifying someone who thinks they’ve made God their steering wheel when, instead, they’ve really just relied on God as a spare tire. While a halfway competent disaster film, it takes a nosedive when shoehorning in its faith-based component.
| Apr 10, 2023
Like Airplane! except with unintentional humor, this faith-based chronicle of airborne heroism never gets off the ground.
| Apr 8, 2023
Terrible writing and corny dialogue cause this otherwise inspiring story to stall in mid flight.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 7, 2023
[On a Wing and a Prayer] falls short of the glory of competent filmmaking and gorges on cheap sentimentally and cliches, undermining its own message.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 7, 2023
On a Wing and a Prayer is incredibly flat-looking and visual choices like recurring split-screens only inspire giggles, rather than the sense of dread you'd expect.
| Apr 7, 2023
On a Wing and a Prayer gets off to a rocky start but once it finds its wings it becomes a pretty smooth flight. Yes, it can be a little preachy at times, but the tension of the flight itself is well done.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2023
On a Wing and a Prayer has so much going for it. It’s a shame the script is such an awful mess.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 7, 2023
[Sean] McNamara’s largely inept direction, coupled with Brian Egeston’s heavy-handed screenplay that touches on the crisis of faith and religion often resulted in a series of painfully histrionic moments.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 7, 2023
Sticks to the essentials of panic...a mostly lean, procedural endeavor with occasional questioning of God’s way.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 6, 2023
I was baffled that a movie about an average joe with minimal flight experience, who was forced to to land a plane after the pilot died of a heart attack, could be so boring.
