Aloha Movie: Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper and a whole bunch of Hollywood stars
Aloha, movie buffs! It's a 2015 movie that kinda came and went, but recently, people have started talking about this film – maybe because it's streaming on Netflix now.
Aloha Movie Trailer: Controversy and Stars
Starring Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper? Talk about big names, it almost sounds like the set of some rom-com or action-comedy! This film has a solid group of famous faces: Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin, and more. And while Aloha was pretty divisive, that whole cast did have everyone talking.
Aloha Movie Review: Mixed feelings about the plot
Despite that lineup, things went sour quick, folks. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film only 20% on its rating, a little brutal for a movie with this much star power! A lot of the buzz is around the Emma Stone casting as an Asian American character! The story calls for a character with mixed Hawaiian and Chinese ancestry but Stone doesn't have those roots. This kind of "whitewashing" isn’t exactly rare, but people are taking more notice.
Emma Stone Aloha: One controversial choice
Cameron Crowe (the director) had a whole thing about a real-life inspiration with similar features, so he thought it would work out fine. It wasn’t that convincing for the audience, which makes sense!
Aloha Cast: More than just faces in the crowd
Still, even though there’s all this Aloha controversy, this movie is like a family reunion. McAdams and Cooper reunite after "Wedding Crashers," Krasinski and Baldwin got together again since It’s Complicated. You even have Bill Murray and Danny McBride working together on a project. All these familiar faces made it a little more enjoyable for movie buffs, even if the plot needed work.
Emma Stone Movie: What's Next?
Since its 2015 release, it seems like this Aloha movie is becoming more relevant and popular in a way, with a good bunch of the actors from this Ensemble Cast growing their careers and success!
