n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Apart from negative review and comments, I would like to give positive review and comment about this movie. Yes, plot need to be re-do, yes, dialog need to be reworked, but the thing is, overall this movie is entertaining.Good movie, is the movie that gives you a pleasure, a "feels-good" feeling at the end of the movie. Whether is rom-com, horror, thriller, drama or whatever, and aloha give me that, especially at the end of the movie when Carson Welch get arrested after a long conversation between Gilcrest and General Dixon and Fingers, and also give me a big smile while Brian Gilcrest kissed Allison Ng and that the hat is still there. I can't believe Ng still keep the hat.

Bradley Cooper plays another war hero and this time he is also a NASA geek. Brian Gilchrist, our hero, goes to Hawaii for a dedication ceremony, working for the richest man in the world, Carson Welch (Bill Murray). Bradley debarks and makes eye contact with Tracy (Rachel McAdams). It appears they had a thing at one time. It has been 13 years and she has a 12 year old daughter, not to give away too much on the tarmac. Brian is assigned a military escort, Captain Ng (Emma Stone) as we already know not "if" but "when" in spite of his instant dislike of her.The film is primarily a romantic comedy, but includes enough wheeling/dealing and spy stuff to cloud the romance. It is a film you can watch once, feel almost good, and then forget. Bill Murray does a his dance step from "Ghost Busters." One F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

The characters are boring, the story is boring, this movie is a waste of celluloid. There is no plot, the characters just wander around doing and saying inane stuff. We turned it off after a half hour and put it back in the envelope to mail back. I gave it one star on Netflix and in this review only because there is no way to give it zero stars. It is the very definition of a failure.

Not sure why so many are complaining about this film. I watched it, and was quite charmed by it. Watched it again, after recommending it to a few friends. Half of them got it, the other half complained. I found the writing to be bordering on magical. A bit surreal at times. It is becoming so hard to find a well written film, coming out of Hollywood these days, so it is refreshing when one finds something like this. The scenes with Bradley Cooper and Rachel McAdams (both were outstanding) were totally believable, and there was real chemistry there. His character was well conceived, and Alec Baldwin was funny. But, the top scenes in the film were with the Maestro Bill Murray. Oh my God. They must have been written with him in mind. There were some plot contrivances that were a bit much. But, they are forgivable, when the rest of the film is this good. Virtually the entire scene in the bar for the Christmas party was pure magic. I will not give anything away here, but pay attention to the dialogue. It is gorgeous. That scene alone is worth watching this movie for. Many screenwriters and directors could take a cue from this film. It is very well put together, and a delightful film to watch.
