Drawing inspiration from Richard Donner's 1984 classic adventure film "The Goonies" and giving it a tropical makeover, "Finding Ohana" takes us in search for pirate treasure once again, this time inside an underground cave in Hawaii.
Neatly paced and with just enough substance to make the story flow without complications, "Finding Ohana" centers around a group of teenagers who set out in search for treasure into the depths of an ancient tomb.
The film is not without its blemishes. There are cringe inducing moments, unfitting musical choices, and awkward acting performances, but a decent plot, beautiful scenery, and a well crafted script keeps this flick about family and cultural heritage afloat.
Certainly a movie to be enjoyed with the family and a bowl of popcorn.
