Not normally a film that we would go see in the cinema but maybe consider watching if it turned up on TV, The Descendants turned out to better than imagined.
George Clooney plays Mathew King, the trustee to a large expanse of land in Hawaii who's wife suffers injuries after a boating accident. While dealing with that, he's getting to know his daughters, dealing with sale of the land between the cousins and discovers that his wife had an affair. Talk about all your buses coming at once! But throughout it all, it makes him reconsider things, including his own family relationships.
There points through it where you can't help but laugh due to the script or just the on screen antics. There's moments where you can sit and think, 'yeah, been there, gone through that.' It's a great little film for both the boys and the girls.
And one more thing; Isn't George Clooney ageing well?
Rating: 5/5
