Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Even if this were well made in a technical sense, it would still be a weird heap of patriotism, astronomy, and Hawaiian folklore, piled atop a pat and predictable love story.

rotten:
Filmmaker Cameron Crowe can't catch a break with Aloha, a Hawaii-set romcom that is a handful of stories struggling for a unifying tone, but is nowhere near as toxic as its advance buzz.

It comes at us in choppy bursts of brilliance and dopiness. That is at once its great charm and its great curse.

Aloha is a great-looking movie with just enough bright spots to get us past the cloudy moments.

None of this "works." But it usually worked on me.
