Even if this were well made in a technical sense, it would still be a weird heap of patriotism, astronomy, and Hawaiian folklore, piled atop a pat and predictable love story.

Filmmaker Cameron Crowe can't catch a break with Aloha, a Hawaii-set romcom that is a handful of stories struggling for a unifying tone, but is nowhere near as toxic as its advance buzz.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It comes at us in choppy bursts of brilliance and dopiness. That is at once its great charm and its great curse.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

Aloha is a great-looking movie with just enough bright spots to get us past the cloudy moments.
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

None of this "works." But it usually worked on me.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
