Wick's Review
Summary - OK 2.5
Aloha never coheres for Cameron Crowe, nor for stars Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone & Rachel McAdams. Plus the whole thing’s too clever by half, including Stone playing a character last name of Ng. Um, right.
Crowe is apparently just another haole who got discombobulated by Aloha. Whitey.
Acting - Good 3.0
Bradley Cooper is always watchable, even when his material isn’t up to snuff. That’s why he’s a moviestar.
Emma Stone fares less well as a hotshot fighter-jock with a wild-side. She only barely pulls it off.
- Rachel McAdams is fine as the third wheel, which is basically her moviestar ceiling.
- Bill Murray nicely underplays a tech billionaire who turns about to be a bit too entitled.
- John Krasinski way underplays an emotionally stunted guy. It works.
- Danny McBride is wasted as a compromised Air Force officer.
- Alec Baldwin rocks as a pissed-off General.
