Unless you really, really need to know what a plot-by-numbers Very Special Lifetime Channel Movie About Alcoholism would be if it starred heavyweight acting talent (answer: better, but still not actually good), you can leave after the first thirty minutes because after that there is no more planecrashing, and the planecrashing is really the only […]
