This movie had a very complex script. As many reviews have said, there was just too much going on. Rachel McAdams did a great job as a woman caught between two men with a choice that definitely tore her in two directions.Danielle Rose Russell did a great job as a daughter caught between childhood and adolescence. Her final scene was eminently touching. The only problem is, I couldn't figure out how she knew the truth. At least her "father" had some math clues to help him figure it out.I had some trouble with Emma Stone in the beginning. I really could not tell if she had genuine hero worship, or if she was laughing at Gilcrest the whole time. Later in the movie her emotions rang true.There were a couple of very sweet romantic plots in this film. The relationship between Woody and Tracy was a great story with good acting but slightly quirky elements The relationship of Gilcrest and Ng was more traditional with the sequence of - friction in the beginning, then fall in love, then have a falling out, then ... well you can guess.At least some of the subplots were necessary to advance the romantic interests, but there were just way too many subplots.

They were stretching the movie so bad. I am disappointed for sitting through the whole movie. It was just a waste of time. One of the worst movies I have ever seen along with Tarzan(2016)Bad casting terrible acting. That is all I want to say and I don't recommend this to anyone unless they want to kill themselves or just waste their 107 minutes from their life. I really want to go to the director and tell him what a disappointment he is and then I am going to think about how disappointed I am from my self for watching the whole movie. I believe that even I could make a better movie out of these actors and story and it would not even be hard. Just flock all those people and their totally fraud movie. I would be ashamed to put this in the theaters even if I would make a ton of money. The worst scene is the one with the party with the Hawaiian locals. It was just extremely boring and sh atty. I am much prouder for the time wasted to write this review than I am for watching the movie. If you were getting ready to watch it you still have time to quit guys. Fock this movie.........

With the pedigree of the cast and creative team (well, Cameron Crowe) involved, you wouldn't expect this film to be a flop. But oh dear it is.Shoddy dialogue, pointless scenes, and wooden performances all come together to make you want to say 'goodbye' rather than 'Aloha'. It's almost a headache trying to work out how very good actors like Rachel McAdams who are normally so reliable all came together to make this sorry mess of the film.Admittedly it picks up after a particularly bad first half hour, but never to the level it should.The less said about Bill Murray's role in this the better too. How a guy who famously chooses his projects carefully looked at this script and thought it would be good I don't know.Avoid this film.

I don't understand the bad rating for this movie, at all! Great movie man. Wonderful cast, and the movie has greats moments and some powerful messages. Shaking my head at the 5 rating on IMDb. 10/10. All i can say after watching the movie, and speaking about the low ratings it gets is that the movie targets exactly the why of the low rating it has. People's lack of understanding, care and..well, love. I advise you to watch this. Just for sake of having to add the necessary 10 lines of text for the IMDb review - which i don't understand; when the world communicates at 140 characters at a time - again, i would watch the movie, if you haven't already.
