Two questions can be asked upon viewing this film, what happened? And where did this go wrong? Being a Cameron Crowe project you would think this would be nothing short of a classic. A star-studded cast, set in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii you would think would be a formula for success.
It's whole feel is that of a glorified made for TV movie, with it's cheesy writing and flawed overall grasp on reality are just a few elements that make this movie a waste of time. Regardless of the criticism about the cast being "white-washed", due in major part to Emma Stone being cast as an Asian character, still is no excuse for this heavily flawed movie. If you aren't planning on watching something deep, real or all that satisfying on any level, this could be it.
Although it is not the worst movie to have ever been made, it definitely is not close to being considered a masterpiece.
