Message: [QUOTE="ZooCougar, post: 4289311, member: 296"] Made a critical mistake in watching [I][B]Aloha[/B] [/I]directed by Cameron Crowe. I was suckered in by the impressive cast: Bill Murray, John Krasinski, Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, Alec Baldwin and Danny McBride among others. I will be brief. Every Cameron Crowe movie is a derivative of [I][B]Singles[/B][/I] or [I][B]Jerry McGuire[/B][/I][B].[/B] Which might be his only good movies. In this case, the man child with the early mid life crisis is Bradley Cooper. Former military with a sketchy ethical past now working for a Billionaire Bezos/Musk kind of guy (Murray). But it just so happens that his ex girlfriend gums up the works and Cooper takes way too long in figuring out he should move on and sleep with Emma Stone. Murray is wasted, not enough screen time. Alec Baldwin, who is perfectly cast as an angry Type A Air Force General delivers the best one liners and there aren't enough. And he somehow gets through the movie without shooting the director. Danny McBride, also wasted here plays a completely extraneous character. John Krasinski is just eye candy for the ladies. I think McAdams did the movie because she forgot her wallet and needed some lunch money. This is a movie made for women that is hated by women and made by a dude who probably wishes he was a woman. I may or may not of written this just to pump up the stats that [USER=3300]@Mano[/USER] produces every year. [/QUOTE]
