Movie synopsis
The Descendants is a drama set in Hawaii that centers on the lives of a powerful family that owns 25,000 acres of land on the island of Kauai. The Descendants begins with Matt King, played by George Clooney, attempting to come to grips with his life after a boating accident has left his wife in a coma. King’s family has lived on Hawaii for generations and the land they hold has been handed down from Hawaiian royalty over the years. The Descendents keys in on the drama that Matt Kings faces when he must address the realities of his failed relationship with his two young daughters and his less than faithful wife who is slipping away in the hospital and will not recover. In the DVD, Matt does not think he has the ability to raise his children on his own, and he also struggles with the fact that within seven years, the trust on his family’s land is set to expire and he must decide whether or not to sell the land to developers. The DVD runs 115 minutes and is rated R.

It was a good film, a new story, lovely setting, well acted, but I didn't think it was monumental. Just good entertainment, satisfying but not overly impressive. Film of the year, I don't think so, just wasn't that gripping. But I liked it. Clooney is very much himself in this film, and those who love him will get their fill.
The really interesting story lies between the daughter and her friend who's a boy. Finding out your [nearly] dead wife was cheating on you's been done. But the friendship, and goings on among the bit players are the real gems of this film. You wouldn't get to meet them without Clooney's character.
So there it is, watch it, see what you think. I enjoyed it.
Cheers and Blessings, Max Rainet.

) The Descendants is a superb film with a dynamic cast. Throughout the movie, you wonder if Clooney's character is ever to catch a break. With his wife in a coma and on the frindge of death, Clooney's character has to deal with taking care of his youngest, sweet, but trouble making daughter, his oldest daughter who is a rebel without a cause and her boyfriend, along with trying to confront the man whom his wife was having an affair with; all while being involved in a very public business deal involving land which his family has owned for centuries. Should they sell or not sell? As trying as the journey is for Clooney and his family, it ultimately brings them closer than ever. Through the trying times, comedic relief is always there to keep it rolling.

) Good movie. I liked the premise, loved the setting.
I ought it because I had heard so much hoopla about it-only 4 stars because I couldn't quite wrap my head around why his wife would fool around on him. George Clooney in hawaii. What more could any woman want?

I am very pleased with the DVD "The Descendants." George Clooney at his best. I lived on the island of Kauai and know one of the locals in the movie, so I just had to have my own copy.
