Featured Comments/Tips
'"Airborne'" contains one of the best and most epic monologues in recent years. A simple scene with the main character standing up to bullies by admitting his a pussy and will probably cry later. What''s more amazing is that the bullies leave him after that. Yeah, that made them stop. It''s so bad and embarrassing that it feels like an achievement.

It hits every trope. It's the movie of an out of place kid that has to win over the people in the new city and in the process win the girl. We have seen this before. We saw it in Hocus Pocus, we saw it in Side Out, in North Shore, in Rad, in Thrashin, we saw it in a thousand other films that faithfully honor the trope. And a trope filled film bursting with the cliches of the genera isn't exactly a bad thing. After all, sometimes you just want mindless fun with the guarantee of a happy ending and little else. This film delivers on that... and references Nintendo Hockey, possibly the best sports game ever.
