e of the occupation is emphasized while amusing the viewer in an offbeat way and driving home some insights on the broken human condition and glorious potential. A youthful Cate Blanchett plays Nick’s stay-at-home wife, Connie. She was 29 years-old during shooting. Meanwhile Angelina Jolie plays Russell’s much-younger wife, Mary, who has alcohol issues; she was 23 playing a 21 year-old.

Petite Vicki Lewis is also on hand as the lone female air traffic controller; she was 38 during filming. The movie runs 2 hours, 4 minutes and was shot in the Toronto area, with some scenes in New Jersey/New York City, Minnesota and Victorville, California. GRADE: A-/B+
