Way too much going on in this movie. Way too many relationships, an old flame, a new flame, but do we even care about this guy? He's a scientist? Gets blown up in Afganistan/Iraq doing something sciencey. He's working for a billionaire that ends up being some kind of a bad guy. So maybe they just wanted to do a movie set in Hawaii? Paid vacation?
I usually enjoy the choices that these actors make. Bradley Cooper, Bill Murray, Danny McBride, Alec Baldwin, Emma Stone, et al. all amazing talent. And there were good, memorable scenes, John Krasinski playing the strong silent pilot guy (but they showed this great scene in the trailer). There were good scenes at the officers club with Bill Murray dancing with Emma Stone. Just too much goodness in this one. Maybe it was the editing, or the story was too convoluted. A launch, trying to get land from the Hawaiians, love stories, old flames, new flames, . . . some type of spiritual thing going on.
I think I was disappointed by this movie because there were so many amazing people in it, and it did not deliver.

This blog is a place for me to keep track of all the friggin' movies I go to or see. As the title says, I go to too many movies, but I also rent too many movies too, so some of the reviews will be of dvds that I have rented. Also, I think I will rant about commercials and TV shows that I watch here too. Please click on the Google adsense below. I get a very small amount of money if you do. Thank you!
I am a Yelper!
