Amelia

This is the story of Amelia Earhart, the legendary aviatrix and enigmatic symbol of the American free spirit, who was guided by a profound curiosity for everything life had to offer. Her early aviation triumphs and towering rise to fame and fortune were propelled along by her tempestuous partnership and eventual marriage to publisher George Putnam. Bound by mutual ambition, admiration and a great love, their bond could not be broken, not even by a brief passionate affair with Gene Vidal. Amelia made history in 1932 by becoming the first woman ever to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean but an Icarus like tragedy struck her five years later as she attempted to fly around the world, her plane mysteriously vanished somewhere over the Pacific Ocean.

'immensely enjoyable '

'Inoffensive, arcane and ultimately rather sweet, ?Amelia' is one to take your grandmother to.'

This movie is okay, not great and not bad. Hilary Swank really does a great job of playing Amelia but she also sure spends way too much time smiling. The focus on facial features is a sign of a weak movie - it sure could be better but even as it was, it was enjoyable.
