A lot of good actors in this movie but ultimately I thought it was a disappointment. And completely unrealistic that the visiting couple wouldn’t have left roughly 5 minutes into the movie. So basically the plot felt completely artificial and maintained their presence just for the sake of maintaining it (no movie without them stuck there).

Jodie Foster was incredibly shrill — my least favorite Foster performance. EVER.

A few great lines here and there but that dialogue could have been put to use in a much better film.

Waaaaay too sappy and sentimental for me. Also I found it very predictable.

I know the rest of the world went completely ga-ga for its nostalgia but it never drew me all the way in.

Tired. Been there / done that. Why does Mark Wahlberg even take a role like this one, at this point? Wouldn’t the script have felt very familiar, even to him?

I didn’t think this was very good.

I didn’t fall for this movie the way pretty much everyone else I know did. I was SO very conscious of myself being in a movie theater the WHOLE time. There were a number of things I thought either rang false or weren’t explained and I guess it just all seemed a bit contrived to me.

Man, Hawaii is beautiful though. Some day.
