Odd but interesting look at American power structures. You can fast forward through the musical parts.
The world’s first dramatic-documentary-musical satire explores our country’s most taboo topic: class, the presence of an elite in our nominally democratic republic. Harper’s Magazine editor Lewis Lapham takes two young Ivy-League graduates on a tour of the corridors of power and their own career possibilities. Along the way they meet an all-star cast, including, among many others, former cabinet secretaries (James Baker) corporate mandarins (Peter G. Peterson) newspaper publishers (Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr.) and at least one journalist working as a waitress (Barbara Ehrenreich). By story’s end, the graduates’ choice of career takes on great weight: will they try to save the world, or rule it?

Boiler Room: Welcome to the New American Dream.
The film takes a look at the world of “Boiler Room” (seedy, dishonorable, and often fraudulent) brokerage firms. The film centers on college dropout Seth Davis (Ribisi), a budding underground casino owner from Queens, New York….

For only a two hour flight I wouldn't recommend it. The extra money (and it's EXPENSIVE) for that short a flight won't really get you much except extra legroom. And the chance to board early and look smug at everyone else walking by you as you sit there with your pre-flight drink.
From my experience, the real long haul flights (Europe, Asia, etc.) are where it's nice to have first or business class (if one can afford it, that is…VERY expensive–about the price of a nice used car). On those long flights it's nice to have extra room and good food. For short flights, though, it's not really anything special.
Just my suggestion…two hours is a pretty quick flight, so if it were me I would just buy a regular coach class. Safe travels.
