Well actually this is not that bad. This is just an easy movie. You just sit relax and watch. Emma Stoneand Rachel McAdams makes it much more enjoyable.. And Bill Murray is such a legend. Although Bradley Cooper was overshadowed even by John Krasinski! But to sum up it was cool easy-going movie!

Bradley Cooper stars as a former Air Force pilot turned contractor sent to Hawaii to assist with the launch of a private satellite. Some of the locals have concerns and there may be more to the launch than meets the eye. Also his ex-girlfriend is there and she’s got another guy now. What a monumental turd from Cameron Crowe. Hard to believe this has come from the same person who made Almost Famous. Did he just fancy making a film whilst he was on holiday? The script is so, so shoddy it boggles the mind. Somehow it feels like nothing is happening, but the reality is that Bradley Cooper is taking down a satellite like bloody James Bond. However that’s not the focus here because this is a romantic comedy. There’s no focus at all, in fact, no goal, no subtle or profound connection between scenes. It’s frustrating, bordering on unwatchable. Emma Stone is her usual likeable self but somehow she is supposed to be part-Hawaiian; understandably this has caused a lot of controversy, with some people calling the film racist. They could not have picked a whiter person to play a Hawaiian lady and it’s laughable. Another major issue with the film is that it is very shit. The direction is shit. The soundtrack is almost offensive. Even the editing is shit. There’s nothing to like. It’s a shit rom-com, it’s a really shit political thriller (yes at some point things veer into that territory for some reason) and it’s a diabolical drama. If you like pissing away your life on pointless, bland drivel then perhaps Aloha might be of some interest to you. Otherwise this is a film to be actively avoided. If you see it in the wild, destroy it. http://benoliver999.com/film/2015/10/16/aloha/

Obviously a disastrous production. Still enjoyed it, mainly because of the amazing cast.

Aloha is a smart and entertaining comedic drama from writer/director Cameron Crowe. Starring Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, and Bill Murray, the film follows a military contractor who comes back home to Hawaii to help secure the cooperation of a native Hawaiian tribe in allowing the construction of a new aerospace launch site; but returning home forces him to face some unresolved issues from his past. The performances are pretty good; particularly Stone, who brings a lot of charisma to the film. The writing however, is rather weak; as the plot is underdeveloped and a bit contrived. Yet, Crowe’s able to give an emotional resonance to the film that makes it quite touching at times. It has some problems, but overall Aloha is a lighthearted and uplifting film.
