After performing infrequently throughout an economic downturn, the band Waikiki Brothers makes home at the Waikiki hotel in Seong-woo's hometown, Suanbo. Seong-woo reunites with former -- but changed -- friends and strains to control his bandmates.

Filled with music and nostalgia, but most of all realistic drama, "Waikiki Brothers" is an excellent indie film, and one of Yim Soon-rye's greatest accomplishments.

The editing makes this movie incomprehensible most of the time, and the boring music makes you feel like giving up on the personages and on the movie!

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
