Leave your thoughts about Finding ʻOhana.
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowA twist that brings together native myths and modern challenges is at first surprising and then surprisingly satisfying. We leave the film feeling like we've found some 'Ohana ourselves. |
| IGNKristy PuchkoAll in all, Finding 'Ohana is a superb entry into the annals of kid-fronted adventure. The familiarity of concept and character welcomes you into the cozy romp of it all but provides surprises and spectacle unique to its Hawaiian environment. There are laughs and thrills aplenty, spiked with a bit of pathos, but not so much to derail the fun. |
| PolygonPetrana RadulovicFor the most part, Weng weaves adventure and sentimentality together, but when it comes down to it, Finding ’Ohana works when it focuses on the ohana at its core. |
| Screen RantMae AbdulbakiFinding ‘Ohana continues the tradition of balancing heartwarming family bonding time with genuine humor and wondrously exciting escapades. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersWhile its beats are familiar, TV director Jude Weng’s debut feature diverges from its well-worn path when it matters, staying true to its heart and love of Hawaiian culture. |
| VarietyCourtney HowardWhile imperfect and at times predictable, the adventure these filmmakers and performers take us on feels like a warm tropical breeze. |
| The New York TimesKyle TurnerA Gen Z crusade, hyper-aware of its Indiana Jonesian influences, is an entertaining conceit. But the plodding pace of Jude Weng’s film, along with its shabby dialogue, distracts from the more emotionally intricate subplot of the mother returning home to her father after her husband’s death. |
| User ReviewMetacriticOnurbad [ bad ] adjective, worse, worst;(Slang) bad·der, bad·dest for 36. not good in any manner or degree. |
| User ReviewNitroade24No idea how this is getting good reviews. It’s full of cringy 2019 pop culture references, half of the jokes are “Keanu Reeves cool” and it has a twist that has literally no foreshadowing and comes out of absolutely nowhere. Would not recommend. |
