Why It's Going To Suck: Unconvincing Script

Cameron Crowe's name used to mean "brilliant cinema," but recently the guy behind such classic works as Say Anything and Almost Famous has been in something of a down period. After Vanilla Sky failed to impress critics, Elizabethtown was€ well, downright terrible in every way€ and We Bought A Zoo was just lame, Crowe disappeared for a while, presumably to gather his strengths and recalibrate his genius radar. And now we've got this thing on the way.

Currently untitled (though the script is called "Deep Tiki"), Crowe's next movie features Bradley Cooper as a defense contractor whose best friend is a talking computer. He travels to Hawaii on assignment, whereupon he falls in love with Emma Stone's independent airforce pilot. The cast is fantastic (Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin, Rachel McAdams and John Krasinski are all set to appear), but - having read the leaked script - we're convinced this just isn't going to work. The plot is odd, the resolution unsatisfying. We would love to be wrong.
