Movie #1096 "Aloha" is a don't bother film. Where to begin? Cameron Crowe did this mess? The Jerry Maguire/Almost Famous Cameron Crowe? What was the central focus here? Okay, first, it lacks that. Next, the music is so annoying, and loud --- can't- hear- some -of -the -dialogue kind of loud. It wastes the talent of its super talented cast --- Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, and John Krasinski --- yep, all of them are in here, all of them I love to watch in their films, but this one ---nope! And Rachel MacAdams is so good, even in her scenes, but for naught. Even the little boy in St. Vincent is fun to watch in here, but does the director use him much? nope. I never laughed, so if it was supposed to be somewhat of a comedy, it failed there to me. Is it a conflict about space? beats me. I guess so. Since there seemed to be a lot of angst over some launch, but ask me if I care. Sorry, this is probably an incoherent blog on this movie --- but it is fitting for an incoherent film. If it is a love story, I missed where it took a big turn for this guy to change completely from what he was to someone else who loves this gungho soldier. So, like I said at the beginning, don't bother watching this mess. That's probably why the film was so readily available at the red box machine. Word is out on this one --- the %19 it got on rotten tomatoes is deserving!
I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. And that's because of Rachel McAdams and the little boy, and a good scene with the little girl.
