Dennis Quaid Starrer 'On a Wing and a Prayer' Underwhelms Critics Despite Uplifting True Story

• The film dramatizes pilot Doug White's emergency landing of a plane carrying his family but fails to give the harrowing tale proper depth or nuance.
• Reviews criticize the script as 'mechanical' and say it reduces a profound story to 'clichés and dramatic pivots.'
• Quaid stars as White alongside Heather Graham, but critics say the film never achieves 'the right fuel' to make the story penetrate.
• The movie begins streaming April 7 but seems unlikely to take flight with audiences or critics.
