This movie is not confusing, but it's just bad

I've read at least one review that said people who think it's all over the place just aren't intelligent enough to get it. Um, no. I *got* the movie, I just didn't think it was good. None of the plot points is carried out far enough to make a really good story.But what bothered me even more is how staged the movie feels. The characters act like characters, not like real humans. I just hate when directors make movies like this. I can't get over the feeling of watching actors act. Even though the "acting" itself was fine, the characters didn't do things real humans would do -- thus, it just seemed like you were watching people play characters on a screen.It also feels very lazy when the story is put together poorly, but the filmmakers keep choosing music that is obviously designed to elicit certain feelings in the viewer. I imagine them sitting back feeling very satisfied with themselves for choosing "that" song to portray feelings the characters should have been portraying through the actual story and script. I'm going to try hard to forget how they ruined "I Can't Go For That" by Hall & Oates with a bizarre, very bad dance scene involving Emma Stone and Bill Murray (what the heck was that?).And at the end of the day... what was the overall point of the movie? What was the theme? What was the moral/takeaway? There were several little ideas tossed in there together, but no strong unifying theme.And no, the "final act" (trying not to give spoilers here) wasn't a strong enough theme because it was so severely underplayed that it got lost in all the "love triangle" and "emotionally unavailable guy gets swept off his feet inexplicably by too-eager woman" and "supernatural" and "native Hawaiians vs. The U. S. government" stuff.At the end of the say, this movie was just like watching a bunch of stuff happen. Boring and uninspiring. I'm giving it 4 stars because the acting was good despite the poor story, plot, and direction, and I suppose because it was set in Hawaii (which is always an undeniably beautiful "character" in any movie).

Are The Critics On Drugs?

Mostly panned by critics, I have to say, I really didn't mind this film at all. The critics are simply wrong here, at least to my tastes they are. A few aspects may not have worked so well, sure, but I feel many aspects did work quite well. I enjoyed the vast subject matter, the entertaining cast, and the unique energy this film has. The storytelling here in my view is another interesting one in a long line of good and different Cameron Crowe films. When most of Hollywood is making very safe and predictable films, at least we still have a few American directors willing to do something different and willing to bring attention to often overlooked (or even new), issues. Most of all though it is the very grounded human feelings in Cameron Crowe films that really make them work for me. This is no exception. To me this was a fun, heartfelt, and somewhat thought provoking film. The critics can keep giving mindless films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Mad Max:Fury Road good reviews, but for me, this film kicks both their asses easily. 7/10
