Although the film said at the beginning, don't be deceived by the superficial appearance of Hawaii, but I was still confused by the unique Hawaiian style wrapped in the warm photography and soft soundtrack of the whole film, in the theme of old family ethics and In the original cruel story, I felt the return of emotions and brought comfort to my heart. The script is bland throughout, and that alone won't attract long-term attention. However, the portrayal of the characters is outstanding, the mature and stable at the same time bright and innocent, emotionally delicate male protagonist and her rebellious and unruly daughter, as well as a number of supporting roles who are not lacking in bright spots. The interspersed humor and solid lines also help to divert the boredom at the heart of the film. The foothold of the movie is not unique, there are the regaining of family affection, the choice of love, etc., but the overall narrative is also balanced and smooth, and it is indeed beautifully shot. Despite this, it is still not interesting in general, and the change in the attitude of the male protagonist Kojima's business at the end is also a little abrupt.

Alexandra King: When I was over at Christmas, I caught her with the guy. It made me sick to see her near you. I went back to school thinking that that was it... that I was just done with her. I was gonna call and tell you everything, and... and then the accident happened, and... I was waiting until she woke up, I guess. You didn't even suspect. Right? Right? You disgusted me too. You're always so busy.
