Review by Knightsmare

I laughed more in the first 10 minutes of this movie than I think I have in anything else I've ever seen. If you 'get' Taika's humour, I think you'll love this movie. I found all of the characters endearing and the acting was better than expected for a relatively unknown cast. Oscar Kightley was the best - consistently hilarious. I also loved Kaimana and thought she did a beautiful job of portraying Jaiyah's inner conflict. Fassbender was serviceable (and really shone in the 'reveal' at the end). The scenery was nice although a little too obviously Hawaii. It felt low budget but not enough to detract from what is essentially a 'small' film rather than a big budget blockbuster. I always enjoy Taika's films and this may be my favourite yet.
