I still don't know what the story was - I Presume that Nat Faxon and Jim Rash did the original adaptation of Kaui Hart Hemmings' novel, then Payne too it over and solely reworked it his way. Despite the often fabulous dialogue / voiceover / monologues - it's a film in which the most delicate and moving thinsg happen in silence - Amara being told her Mum is dying, the goodbyes at her hospital and that last glowing two minute take where the family settle on the sofa...
The use of Hawaiian music throughout is a definite asset.
