Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Memorergi good film but with many flaws
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
garthlotel This movie doesn't know what it is. It's not particularly interesting or funny, nor do you care about either of Cooper's relationships. Speaking of Cooper, he is simply not leading man material. I realise there is a dearth of quality leading men in Hollywood today but why does a bird faced, cold-eyed, soulless cardboard actor like Cooper have to be cast in everything? Emma Stone doesn't have what it takes to play a convincing temptation, and the always stunning Rachel McAdams is wasted in a small role.
tinkwasmine The characters are boring, the story is boring, this movie is a waste of celluloid. There is no plot, the characters just wander around doing and saying inane stuff. We turned it off after a half hour and put it back in the envelope to mail back. I gave it one star on Netflix and in this review only because there is no way to give it zero stars. It is the very definition of a failure.
atlasmb One reviewer said the main problem with this film is its tone, but tone is the one thing this film has in spades. "Aloha" uses plenty of understatement to deliver a thoughtful, poetic film that might remind some of "Local Hero".The three leads--Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and Rachel McAdams--are delightful. In fact, the entire cast is excellent.The action does take place in Hawaii, but I don't want to say much about the plot, because it is full of surprises that should not be spoiled. I will say that it celebrates island culture.
joaquinnq It is not easy to encapsulate Aloha in a genre. It's not the usual Rom-Com, although the argument might lead one to believe that yes. The main thread describes the dramatic arc of a man centered on his work, capable of loving, but with difficulty to engage in lasting relationships. In addition, the film explores some manifestations of Hawaiian culture and parody some clichés about military conflicts and conspiracies, with unequal effectiveness.The speed with which Aloha travels from one genre to another, sometimes in the middle of the same scene or dialogue, must have confused more than one viewer. It is understood that it has not reached a greater success, between the public and the critic.But Aloha has beautiful details to watch and taste, combining serious and emotive subjects with a fine humor, in a delicate balance.Also, it is a film with an outstanding casting. The protagonists do their work. Rachel McAdams is charming. It's a pleasure to see Bill Murray. And it is remarkable the discovery of Danielle Rose Russell, a young actress who delivers a memorable performance, to close a light and touching film, that tackles serious issues without taking them too seriously.
