Movie Haiku:Workaholic attorney (Cooney) faces crisis when his wife has an accident. Lucking out of all adult relationships while "Elizabeth" is in a coma, "Matt" takes kids to beauteous Hawaiian vistas, his incessant voiceovers punctuated by slat key guitar music. Meanwhile cousins debate a lucrative land deal, anticipating the great wealth they did nothing to earn. Feh!
