I may be a bit biased, since I've worked with some of the actors in this film.
Nah, they no care what I say. And David Cunningham charged us for the lunch we 'treated' my colleagues to, but that's another story.
Suffice to say, I hated the first third of the film. Tired stereotypes of local boys bullying the poor haole guy.
And then something happened.
As soon as the jellyfish stung Roy, (not a great actor, but I stuck with it), the plot took another turn.
These local boys became real. This is where the movie should have started. Even the local girls become more interesting. The characters lived the world of this film. If only Kalani and Roy were the central characters focusing on their church life.
Kalani made up for Roy's shorcomings as an actor and was far more believable.
Props also to Daryll Bonilla, Lorenzo Callendar and Garret Sato, all friends and colleagues who cut their teeth in this production. They are the real stars of this film, and I'm sure everyone in Hawaii agrees.
