Beautiful! Story and scenery!

Multi-ethnic identity and orphan pains are major themes. Along with socioeconomic class issues. Filmed in Hawaii, so the scenery is stunning. Great for families. I recommend it!

An enjoyable movie but definitely predictable

10 minutes into the movie I guessed the whole plot. Watched the whole movie through and family was like "wow you really predicted the plot". It was a cute watch tho. It could've been written better. not the greatest or best movie out there but It gets the job done. An overall decent romance genre movie for all the romantics out there! But if you're an amateur inspector gadget like me you'll figure out the plot before the movie even starts good.

Wholesome Family Film

Watching this film uplifts my spirit- it champions the good in the world while still pulling us through the brokenness of our human nature. It reminds me to continue to champion my foster sister, who also must find her place in two very different cultures.

Actually very charming!

This is definitely a little on the budget side, but it's also very charming and an enjoyable watch! I liked it

Brings lots of smiles and laughter

For days afterwards I reflected on how much I enjoyed watching this film. The story took me for a ride, the real-ness of it all is easy to identify with, and the morals and message are readily applicable in today's world. If more people learned from the role models of this film, the world would be a better place.

Trivia
In the sequence set in 1919, a poster for the film Broken Blossoms (1919) is seen. That film features a romance between an Asian (Chinese) man and a white woman, paralleling events in this film.

Goofs
Although the sound of coqui frogs are heard throughout the movie, they were not introduced to the Island of Hawaii until 1988.

Quotes
[last lines]
Miss Hanabusa: [narrating] Fall down seven times, stand up eight. The bank did foreclose. The town and the plantation were subdivided and auctioned off. And the so-called Dr. Reyes was arrested to murder.
Miss Hanabusa: Our town got a new clinic. And a new doctor. And I... I remained in the service of that young doctor and his wonderful wife for many good years.
