'Ohana ou le trésor caché

Obviously it's not The Goonies, but I feel that Finding Ohana is a like a good sampled hip hop song. They made Finding Ohana using The Goonies sample and inserted their own flavor.

Also, in the age of becoming culturally diverse, its ground breaking to see a whole cast of "minorities." This cast is the closest people my kids can identify with. With all the crap these kids can be watching on YouTube, this movie was literally a breath of fresh Hawaiian air.

Good Sunday afternoon film for the family but the Goonies influence is there from the start with one of the Goonie characters in this movie

Still well produced and a fun watch

My daughter and I watched this movie tonight and absolutely loved it. Being from Hawaii and now living in the mainland it was fun to watch this movie... yes it's very much like goonies but the infusion of the Hawaii culture, language and folk lore made it all the more special. The night marchers story was very similar to what we were taught growing up as was the pidgin and infusion of Hawaiian words. Loved that their home was authentic with glass jalousie windows and tons of wood paneling. The filming of most of the film appears to be in Hawaii and they even have Halona beach from " from here to eternity" in it. The cast looks like the majority of them are from Hawaii which is refreshing considering the majority of the tv shows filmed in Hawaii have lead characters who are not from Hawaii and butcher the Hawaiian Pidgin and culture. The family relationship is realistic and my kids could identify with the siblings. It was.clean and light hearted. I would recommend to anyone, but if your not from Hawaii put the closed captioning on for the Hawaiian words. 💛💛

Enjoyable family flick that's a little muddled and disjointed at first but picks up and turns very Goonie'st.

The storytelling at the end wraps things up nicely.

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.
