Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

jessy zaki Actually i was expecting more after all the hype around it. yes the acting is fine, but i felt the movie is really empty. i was expecting better cinematography showing the beauty of Hawaii, no plot, no message(not necessary), no brilliant acting as it's claimed, no catchy background score, no character development..actually nothing is worth watching. not to be even compared with SIDEWAYS(the director's chef d'oeuvre). A Big Disappointment.

Floated2 The Descendants received much Oscar and awards season buzz upon its released. Having not much interested in its trailers or overall premise, one did not know what to expect from the film. After having watching, it is clear in which the films intentions were. as it is quite good and has is quite different in compared to other films as this. The performances are great and make the film worth watching, as George Clooney plays his character well. and Shailene Woodley does too as a relatively newcomer. The Descendants is rated R but its is mostly due to a film F-bombs, other wise the film feels much like a family movie. It is interesting at most times in which not predictable where we aren't sure where the film is heading. It is quite depressing and unlike typical Hollywood films, doesn't have such a happy ending. We can see why the film has been praised as much as it has. Recommend.

Nik Rawlins So George Clooney plays a husband who hasn't paid attention to his family in years, so far that he states he hasn't taken care of his own daughter alone since she was 3. Of course he sees the errors of his ways only after his wife is in a terrible accident and ends up in a coma, from which she is not going to wake up.But then, surprise, he finds out she had a lover and man, why would she do that? I mean he has been an absent, distant, constantly working partner, how dare his wife find someone else who pays attention to her! (btw, sarcasm) Now his quest becomes to find this man, I mean he could take care of his children, figure out how to be a father, say goodbye to his wife, but no, he is gonna find his wife's lover. There is also a bit of plot about a land selling deal and George Clooney's character standing up to his family (cousins?) and not selling, the land, i don't know why that was in there.Also Scotty: was he supposed to the comedic relief? Was he supposed to be funny? Why is he there?

fubared1 I watched this because of all the hype, and, as usual, I was sorely disappointed. In fact, there is absolutely nothing good I can say about it. Basically, it's a 2 hour soap opera, and I've even seen better soap opera. The writing is dull, witless, and totally pedantic. The direction is formulaic at best and totally unimaginative. I've seen better TV shows. But the prize goes to the actors...some of the worst acting I've seen in years in a feature (but then I don't watch many new films). The best I can say of Clooney is that he has a funny run in sandals, but then I haven't liked anything he's done since ER. The rest of the cast is just plain bad. Bottom line? Don't waste a second on this garbage.
