Movie Haiku:Easy to like but impossible to love, this is a surprisingly conventional BioPic about a very unconventional woman: aviatrix Amelia Earhart (Swank). She has some poetic flight scenes & you can feel the world getting smaller as her planes grow ever more sophisticated, but on the ground everyone's just going thru the motions.
