    Excellent movie. Great script, wonderful acting, a believable story and the beauty of the Hawaiian scenery. During the voice over in the opening scenes the main character infers that Hawaii is not the paradise that most Mainlanders think it is. As the Matt King character is shown to be a man completely out of touch with what is going on around him it is easy to see how he could not be aware of the paradise that Hawaii truly is. This is one of the ten best of this year.

    A perfect movie. All actors were spot on. It's a story about regular people reacting to events in a very real way. It never became maudlin. Just an excellent mix of comedy and melodrama.

    Excellent film. Morally very serious and deep. George Clooney has become a terrific actor. Like Harrison Ford he has a remarkable ability to convey internal conflict with facial expressions alone.
