Reception

[edit]

Bobby LePire from Film Threat considered that the film is: ... "cute and offers younger viewers a fun and important message....however, the lack of detail in the backgrounds hurt the atmosphere the screenplay attempts to create."[6]

Common Sense Media reviewed the film, stating: ... "This movie tells a simple and fairly satisfying story that will probably be absorbing for younger kids."[7]

Lavanya from Red Carpet Crash depicts the film as "The movie succeeds in depicting the island in a beautiful way, taking the audience right to the ocean and breathtaking natural elements of Hawaii."[8]
