Clooney was terrific...great to see him in an not so suave role. The young girls are stars to watch!

User review rating: 4 December 29, 2011

A great performance by George Clooney. A real story about loss and distance in a family. You will laugh and cry throughout this film. A beautifully told story.

User review rating: 4 December 29, 2011

A very good movie that touches upon a lot of emotions. Clooney gives a great performance, which is likely the best of his career. Excellent supporting cast as well.

User review rating: 4 December 25, 2011

Very good movie, George is great!

User review rating: 5 December 24, 2011

A coming of age movie where the guy coming of age is a 50-year old man whose wife has been in a waterskiing accident and will never recover consciousness. when he tries to bring his family together - he's the back-up paernt and pretty clueless - he learns his wife had been having an affair. Now, he has to deal with that knowledge; bring his family together, and decide the fate of 250,000 acres of primo Hawaiian real estate that his family has owned for more than a century. George Clooney will probably grab an Oscar® nomination for Best Actor for the role and Shailene Woodley could get a Best supporting Actress nod as his olest daughter. The Descendants is both funny and dramatic

User review rating: 2 December 22, 2011

Found it totally unrealistic!

User review rating: 4 December 22, 2011

I loved the characters in the movie. George Clooney is wonderful in the role and I found it very well done.

User review rating: 4 December 22, 2011

George Clooney is the Cary Grant of our era.

User review rating: 4 December 22, 2011

The Descendants is a good movie. It did get a little long but that's the only complaint I have about the movie. The acting was great, the setting was beautiful. It's a good example of a family in trouble and how they reconnect.

Love George

User review rating: 5 December 21, 2011

The more I thought about it later, the more I loved it. Can't say that there is anything wrong with this film at all. It's pitch perfect in every way.

User review rating: 4 December 20, 2011

One of 2011s best movies...also, Clooney shines in this movie like never before

User review rating: 2 December 20, 2011

I slept during this movie! It was so boring.

User review rating: 4 December 20, 2011

Excellent movie!

User review rating: 5 December 18, 2011

Brilliant story line, because anyone who had been in similar situation with ones own family, can truly identify with this movie. Also, everyone, was interwoven with their characters and true to life!

User review rating: 5 December 18, 2011

this movie made me laugh and cry. one of the best movies i have seen in a long time.

User review rating: 3 December 16, 2011

this is a rental one but the scenery was nice

User review rating: 0 December 16, 2011

Well done, but it's totally a 1% flick. I mean the dude owns half of Hawaii. Why am I always being asked to identify with Richie Riches in movies?

User review rating: 4 December 15, 2011

Was an excellent movie moving through a full gamut of emotions. Likely one of the best movies that George Clooney has been in and demonstrated his depth of a character actor.

User review rating: 4 December 15, 2011

excellent movie!!

User review rating: 4 December 15, 2011

I enjoyed the movie. Beautiful scenery,the young girls did an excellant job in their roles.Lots of food for thought in the predicament George Cloney was in.

User review rating: 0 December 15, 2011

One of George Clooney's best movies.

User review rating: 4 December 15, 2011

Good Flick

User review rating: 2 December 15, 2011

I found the movie The Descendants very predictable, no real climax. I did enjoy the scenery, and have been to Hawai, without the scenes of scenery there wouldn't be much of a movie. It is over rated, a movie to rent and not go to the theatre to see.

User review rating: 4 December 15, 2011

I enjoyed the movie and the acting but I began to feel that it wasn't going anywhere - a little more plot would have been nice.

User review rating: 4 December 14, 2011

i thought this movie was going to be light and funny but it's not at all what you think from the trailer. It is weird to see Clooney in a non slick role.

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2011

Good stiff,excellent plot and acting

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2011

Very well acted, interesting/enjoyable plot, good editing

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2011

Beautiful movie!!...Clooney hits a home rum in this sweet, funny and emotional dramedy.

User review rating: 1 December 10, 2011

Way too sad and depressing - especially if you have gone through a loss of a loved one.

User review rating: 4 December 09, 2011

One of George Clooney's best movies.

User review rating: 4 December 09, 2011

Very enjoyable movie. Good story; good acting.

User review rating: 4 December 08, 2011

I thought it was a good movie-I really like George Clooney and thought he did well with his role.

User review rating: 4 December 08, 2011

A great movie....family dysfunction never was so well done.

User review rating: 4 December 08, 2011

Great movie. George was incredible. The daughters were great to especially the oldest sister.

User review rating: 5 December 08, 2011

Great movie, excellent acting. Seemed real life.

User review rating: 3 December 07, 2011

A good movie overall. It kept my interest. I found that George Clooney was very believable in his character, sometimes I find in movies that use big stars its sometimes difficult to get past who the person is playing the role and connect with them but he did a good job of making you believe his character.

User review rating: 4 December 07, 2011

I was surprised at how George Clooney, a perpetual ladies' man and free-ranging, child-free bachelor, portrayed the troubled husband and father in this film. His character, Matt King, had a triple-threat of stressors to deal with: a dying wife whom he discovered had been cheating on him; two rebellious and unhappy daughters with whom he was completely out of synch; and a looming real-estate transaction worth millions whose far-reaching ramifications would impact the many cousins in his family -- the Descendants of the title -- upon his decision to sell or not sell 25,000 acres of pristine Hawaiian wilderness to a developer. Director Alexander Payne carefully captures the nuances in Clooney's

User review rating: 5 December 07, 2011

Clooney redeemed himself from the American

User review rating: 4 December 05, 2011

Great movie. A little slow at times but very well acted.

User review rating: 4 December 05, 2011

Fantastic writing and great performances. A very good movie.

User review rating: 4 December 05, 2011

awesome!

User review rating: 4 December 05, 2011

Beautiful movie on so many levels. The performances, especially Clooney, were fantastic and added to an already great script.

User review rating: 4 December 04, 2011

Shailene Woodley shined in this movie, and after the movie all I wanted to do was book a trip to Hawaii!
