Critics Consensus

Meandering and insubstantial, Aloha finds writer-director Cameron Crowe at his most sentimental and least compelling.

Half the time while watching Aloha, I had no clue what was going on. Not so much the plot -- although I was admittedly a bit muddled on that, too -- but why anyone acted the way they did.

It seems less that Crowe's gifts have escaped him than that they've become disproportionate with his excesses, and we're less forgiving of those trespasses.

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.

This star-studded film from Cameron Crowe is thinly drawn but it doesn't half lay the sentimentality on thick.

Aloha attempts to resolve two complex potential romances while simultaneously sounding the alarm against the military-industrial complex (!) and contemplating the ongoing marginalization of native Hawaiians.

1.5/4

Many of the actors remain so charming that watching them, even in a film as slapdash as this, makes the entire experience better than it really is. But that doesn’t mean Aloha should be considered passable.

No idea why this movie gets such a bad rap. Read the backstory. A LOT of effort (4 years worth in fact) was spent just rewriting the script specifically for Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone, among others. Great directing by Cameron Crowe, not an easy movie to bring to screen. Good cinematography and visually quite pleasing. Enjoyed it

What a waste of good talent. Why did Emma Stone pick this film?

Good cast, but a poorly written script. Dialogue and storyline both stilted and confounding. Only reason to watch is to make fun of it.

I don’t know if people really act like this, as portrayed in the movie which maybe makes it a little cheesy, maybe a little less realistic but I personally liked it very much. I liked the concept of a modern day villain.

Good movie as long as you don't expect too much. It passed the time.

A dream cast is given an incomprehensible script. Da heck was this?
