movie review - Finding ‘Ohana

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2021.01.30

This is an entertaining film that's basically "The Goonies" in Hawaii plus girls. With a family in financial difficulty, four youngsters (actually portrayed by young people) set out semi-intentionally to find fabled gold. It's well done, though a tad stiff and stilted in parts.

Recommended. Good family viewing during this blasted pandemic.
