This movie is SO not a comedy, with endless shots of the dying wife. Jeesh! Has Hollywood lost its genre mind? Humor plummets downhill from that ever-popular trailer scene... you know, the one of George Clooney's character running in comical form with just flip-flops on his feet. Granted, light comedy occasionally softens tender and sometimes-realistic moments for this fractured family, as they work through grief-stricken lives. Gorgeous GC and his supporting cast act well, but not Oscar worthily. Hawai'i is never tough to look at, even in what seemed to be a lot of rain, during filming. We opine as such:
Joe rates it a "7" and "enjoyable". I'm givin' it a "5" for too many close-ups of just what death looks like. I guess I was more in the mood for girlie-style eye candy, if you know what I mean. See what you think.
