The whole story is a tangled mess. Aloha sees itself as a quirky, funny, and sad, but loudly announces when it's trying to be those things. January 21, 2016 | Full Review…

Even if this were well made in a technical sense, it would still be a weird heap of patriotism, astronomy, and Hawaiian folklore, piled atop a pat and predictable love story. June 4, 2015 | Full Review…

It's not bad so much as alien, like a romantic comedy made by someone who's researched human behavior but had very few brushes with it in person. June 2, 2015 | Full Review…

Inspiration has become Cameron Crowe's crack. His films are all-you-can-eat pixie-dust buffet from which all unnecessary excitement has been expunged. May 29, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Filmmaker Cameron Crowe can't catch a break with Aloha, a Hawaii-set romcom that is a handful of stories struggling for a unifying tone, but is nowhere near as toxic as its advance buzz. May 29, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

It comes at us in choppy bursts of brilliance and dopiness. That is at once its great charm and its great curse. May 29, 2015 | Full Review…

There is an undeniable charm to some of the scenes of this movie, but few movie lovers will be offering it "warm aloha". August 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Crowe paints with a broad and often heavy-handed brush, leaving us with a film that seems strangely unsure of itself and what it wants to be. July 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Aloha starts off in Elizabethtown-esque territory but, perhaps thanks to winning performances or the stunning island scenery, it becomes something better. May 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Aloha is often surprising, sometimes fun and occasionally tone-deaf. If Cooper, Hawaii and/or slow-building thrillers appeal, then this is recommended despite its flaws. December 19, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

The film is a valiant effort, with flashes of wit and intelligence; but overall, the film takes on too much and accomplishes little. November 1, 2018 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Aloha is a featherweight concoction that's fuzzy in the head and squishy in the middle. Yes, there's even an obligatory happy couple montage, but the film is also nuanced and eccentric in ways that are very unusual for a studio comedy. August 22, 2018 | Full Review…
