She’s in the military and wears her hair in a bun and stuff like that. Lindsey W.: So Emma Stone is supposed to be “unlikeable” and “uptight” in this film? Cool, we get it. Note: In case you missed it, Emma Stone plays Alison Ng - who is one-quarter Hawaiian,one-quarter Chinese, and half Swedish. What the fuck are they even doing in Hawaii? Why are they doing things in space? What is Bradley Cooper’s job? What is anyone’s job? Why is Bill Murray is there? What’s with the fucking laptop stickers? Why are LAPTOP STICKERS even a thing? Like, to the point where you wonder how any of these talented actors (well, most of them) read the script all the way through, memorized its words, and then STILL decided to be a part of it. I saw it pop up on at like 11:30 last night and had to watch it in full. Lindsey W.: Thank god you watched it so I am no longer alone. Lindsay R.: You guys, this movie is completely insane! It’s like it was originally a 10-hour TV series that had to be cut down to a 100 minute movie, and they cut it by showing us scenes chosen completely at random!! That being said, if you plan to see Aloha (and we actually recommend you try it!), see it first and then come back! BECAUSE IT IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY INSANE, so you might also need this conversation as therapy.
And also, because the movie makes no sense, we didn’t bother trying to “explain” it. This is the conversation we were compelled to have about it - out of sheer disbelief, because none of us can deal.Ī note about spoilers: duh. Thanks to word-of-mouth and just plain old curiosity, the three of us saw it individually. It will likely find a place in history as one of the worst studio films ever made - certainly the worst with its cast, marketing budget, and ambitions.
The film, originally titled Deep Tiki, was panned by critics, ignored by audiences, and even trashed by then-Sony president Amy Pascal as “ridiculous” and making “no sense” in the December 2014 Sony hack. By Christine Friar, Lindsay Robertson, and Lindsey WeberĪloha, the 2015 Cameron Crowe film starring Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, Danny McBride, Bill Murray and Alec Baldwin, arrives on video and digital streaming this Tuesday.
