The Descendants - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars


Despite the fact its no secret that I'm not a  fan of rich people who can't cope films,this film does slightly rise above the rest due to George Clooney's performance.Oh the rest of the cast is fine as well BUT since he's the rich guy who had trouble coping,this film rises or falls on him making it sympathetic.It also adds a little end of life issues as well as native Hawaiian issues but at the core,its a rich have problems like the rest of us film.Gezz I wish I had THEIR money and I would sure cope.Released in 2011 it runs 115 minutes and I take the 1 and 1/2 stars off for the rich issue.You could do a lot worse and a little better.trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.

With his wife Elizabeth on life support after a boating accident, Hawaiian land baron Matt King takes his daughters on a trip from Oahu to Kauai to confront the man who was having an affair with Elizabeth before her misfortune. Written by realndn06
