CGiii Comment
Some big names is a flimsy, throwaway comedy about trolley dollies.
Should have been funnier - should have been a lot more than it actually is.

Donna's a girl from a small town, who wishes to get out of it and see the world. She reads the book of Sally Weston, a flight attendant who was flown to practically everywhere. She then decides to become a flight attendant at a small commuter airline. After gaining a little experience she decides to apply to a major airline. She convinces her two co-workers, Sherry and Christine to join her. While she and Christine get in, Sherry doesn't. Now Donna is putting her heart and soul into it and after meeting Sally Weston, she is determined to be assigned to an international route. But when the asignments are posted, she is shocked to discover that she is been assigned to a commuter route in Cleveland. While she feels that her dreams have been dashed, she meets a great guy but when she decides that she's going to fight for what she wants, she has to chose between him and it.
