Even in his darkest movies, Almodóvar has put in some elements of trashy burlesque. Here, it's nothing but that. It's a straight-forward comedy about a plane with difficulties. It may crash, but the big crash is maybe about the crew and the passengers.
The purser, pilot, stewards are all gay or bi-sexual. All sex-crazy and of course they are also into disco and the stories of a brothel madam who is also a dominatrix. We're supposed to giggle and maybe we do that from time to time, but mostly this is tiresome.
Seems like Almodóvar has reached the end of a path. We would gladly see turn his back on some darlings.
