Storyline:
Matt King's family has lived in Hawaii for generations. His extended family - namely he and his many cousins - own 25,000 acres of undeveloped land on Kauai held in trust, which ends in seven years. The easiest thing for the family to do is sell the land before the seven years is up, which is all the talk in the state, as, to whom they sell the property could very well change the face of Kauai. Despite the vast wealth that comes with the land, Matt has decided to live solely on what he earns as a Honolulu lawyer. However, Matt has not had a perfect life living in Hawaiian paradise as many believe. He and his wife Elizabeth were having problems in their marriage. She recently got into a boating accident which has placed her in a coma. Their seventeen year old daughter Alex is in boarding school on the big island since they couldn't handle her rebellion, which was made all the worse by an argument of an unknown nature between mother and daughter during Alex's last visit home.

Matt King is George Clooney's most likeable character yet. He is a father and husband having to come to grips with a life- altering tragic event and he (and we) don't know if he's up to the challenge. Although I was sometimes distracted, IT IS George Clooney after all, I was more taken by his every-man persona and (gasp!) schlubby appearance. No tuxes for this role. Just emotion, and angst, which look damned good on him.
The supporting cast was terrific and everyone in the film managed to hold back what could have been gratuitous tugging on the heartstrings but instead turned out to be genuine and sometimes even funny.
The more I think about this film, the more I like it. Leave the kids at Happy Feet 2 and go see what should be the role that garners another Oscar nomination for Mr. Clooney and the beginning of stardom for a couple of young actors/actresses.

I never ever write reviews but I felt that I should after wasting two hours of my life watching this horrible movie. I am completely shocked by the semi-decent reviews of this movie because, to me, it was horrible!!! Sooo boring and poorly written. It is depressing and has no plot, climax, or substance to it. DO NOT waste ur money seeing this film!!! ahhhh im mad now :(

When the same person writes, produces,and directs, it is a good one! This is more than true with the DESCENDANTS. Heart wrenching and playful scenes played out with enjoyable characters and a brilliant adaptation of the novel. This will get a few nods in February. All the elements are character development work and te performances are realistic.
Worth full price on date night.

"Alexander Payne hasn't directed a feature since Sideways and I knew once he finally did it would be a classic. His first four were classics, why wouldn't this be another one. It uses Hawaii perfectly and captures the families fighting and struggles without one misstep. MUST SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
