I seriously don't understand the high marks this film got. The acting and story were alright, but that's about the best I can say. More epic walks than Lord of the Rings and more Hawaiian music than any man should have to listen to. Nice scenery, but I was bored silly. While I usually enjoy Matt Lillard and Beau Bridges, their appearances were mostly flat. The only highlight for me was the Sid character.

Agreed, very boring and I would add very depressing also. I usually don't like movies that make me want to slit my wrists.

Movie studios often lump payments made to critics for good reviews under "marketing" on their P&L sheets.
