I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, the acting, the actors, the scenery, the beautiful Hawaiian music and much more. Yes, the story was sad and there was some language that I don't care for, but it fit the characters.

I'd never heard of this movie before, but I did enjoy it, despite the excessive swearing. Overall, it's a dramatic film about a family coming together when the mother/wife is in the hospital in a coma after a boating accident. Matt learns…

I have never understood the appeal of this movie. George Clooney was fine, and I liked the premise, but the daughters were annoying, it was not funny though it was marketed as a comedy, and it drags really bad. You would think that a movie…

I love Hawaii and I love this movie. Much of the land in Hawaii like much of Canada’s, truly belongs to the First Nations, the indigenous people. What to do and what is fair, what is the best use; are very difficult and multi-sided…

This is one of four films that I enjoyed watching with Clooney. The soundtrack is done almost completely by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, who has salvaged a slow& draggy film built on sadness, anger & depression. Get the Soundtrack.

I had high expectations for this movie and it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. The premise, acting and scenery were wonderful, but it felt like something was missing.

Three steps away on being a Hallmark movie with cliched tropes. Glad the acting from ensemble cast, non-snowing setting & bittersweet ,yet thoughtful plot of letting go cheating wife in coma & should there be mega million development on…

Any absolutely depressing movie - we quit halfway through. A totally dysfunctional family.

Although the movie left out some pertinent details that were in the book (like usual), the movie portrayal was quite entertaining on its own with some excellent acting & beautiful Hawaiian landscapes. (For a full review of this story, see…

I have an indifferent feeling to this movie. Don't really have an opinion. I'm not sure why that is. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful shots of Hawaii and I enjoyed the family history part of it, even though it is just for storytelling…

Pretty good movie but kind of slow and boring! Some beautiful shots of Hawaii.

Good concept. Man learns his wife was having an affair just after he is informed she will never awake from a coma after a boating accident. This movie says something about the special, enduring love of men that persists even in anger and…

Unique, unpredictable movie. Intensely moving scenes, even when nothing seems to be happening. Discomfort of the characters is palpable. Offbeat humor. I hated Payne's tedious "Sideways" (quit halfway through), but this one kept me…

A movie about an upscale family get together in Hawaii that just happens because of a tragedy. Sad film that is interesting, thought provoking, and has a good cast and script. The hard working Matt King (actor G. Clooney) tries to hold…

Heartwarming story. Loved the fact that it was in Hawaii, made it more enjoyable to watch.
