Leave your thoughts about Aloha.
| AARP Movies for GrownupsBill NewcottIt's hard to know what anybody involved in this misbegotten mash-up was thinking, other than 'Hey! The shooting location's in Hawaii!' (The state looks beautiful here, but that's a bit like saying Sharon Stone was attractive in Basic Instinct 2.) |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterIt is with great sadness that I must report the passing of writer/director Cameron Crowe. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfCameron Crowe used to make wonderful movies. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertHow delightful to see a film that begins and closes in outer space be so warmly stargazing. |
| Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanDespite Eric Gautier's dreamy scenery of Hawaii and an A-list cast that would give David O. Russell a hard-on, Cameron Crowe's Aloha lacks any emotional resonance. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAnchored by the knockout pairing of Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone, the filmand its characters, and the world they inhabitis difficult to say good-bye to because it's just so effortlessly endearing. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThere are enough small moments here to illustrate what might have been...but some shaggy editing and too many false moves - particularly the ridiculous climax and tone deaf epilog - deep six the film. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThere ARE times when Aloha doesn’t work — and yet I’m recommending it for its sometimes loony sense of wonder, its trippy spirituality, its brilliant cast and because I seem to be a sap for even the Cameron Crowe movies almost nobody else likes. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryLife is a mess. Aloha is a moving film about a man who is trying to decide whether to clean his life up. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallAll Crowe's movie has going for it is casting, a lineup of favored actors wasted in a screenplay unsure of what it wants to be. Aloha is by turns a love quadrangle that never materializes, an ode to Hawaiian sovereignty, an opposites-attract cliche and an outer-space weapons caper, all of which is clumsily executed. |
