Review: The Descendants

The Descendants
Oscar-nominated films tend to fall into one of two categories: stories, true or otherwise, about the struggle to overcome adversity against all odds, and heartwarming dramedies. Surprisingly, this tale of a man trying to reconnect with his daughters while his wife lies comatose in hospital actually falls into the latter category.

My review of this could simply be summed up by a shrug. It's ok, the acting is passable, when it finished I struggled to find anything to take away from it other than I'd quite like to live in Hawaii.

Oh and Clooney is... Clooney. Can't really put it any other way.

I used to write for these guys, until I quit life in the UK and moved to Taiwan. Here is my review of The Descendants.

I want to see this to confirm if George can actually act instead of just being some variation of himself.
