George Clooney could have done better but it's still a good watch

Brilliant acting but a very heavy story.

The premise for this movie is seemingly solely based on its setting. Having said that, the actors do a lot with the lacking premise.

The fact that George Clooney didn’t get an Oscar for this is crazy. This film is light, with some darkness. The screenplay is also magnetic.

Amazing, understated premise and phenomenal acting. A little dry but still very much worth the watch

I remember that I watched this movie, and I remember that I liked it! But I don’t remember anything else. The great Jim Rash co-wrote it.

Film reveals inner life. Descendants: progeny of old colonial family in Hawaii. 'Fuck Paradise' though. You still must deal with being human
