Reviews

The movie got negative reviews from critics. It has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[3] Aloha was also a box office bomb and only made $26.3 million from its $37 million budget.[2] The Hollywood Reporter estimated that the movies financial losses were close to $65 million by the time the movie ended its run in theatres.[4]

The movie was criticized by Media Action Network for Asian-Americans for "whitewashing" the cast. Director Cameron Crowe said in a response: "I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice. As far back as 2007, Captain Allison Ng was written to be a super-proud one quarter Hawaiian who was frustrated that, by all outward appearances, she looked nothing like one. A half-Chinese father was meant to show the surprising mix of cultures often prevalent in Hawaii. Extremely proud of her unlikely heritage, she feels personally compelled to over-explain every chance she gets. The character was based on a real-life, red-headed local who did just that."[5] Emma Stone said that whitewashing was a problem in Hollywood and that she regretted being miscast.[6]
