The Descendants was a pleasant surprise. As a series of character studies, the cast rises above what could have been a fairly pedestrian tale of loss and discovery (in other words, the movie that you expect to see after viewing the trailer). George Clooney plays a fellow (Matt King) trying his best to be a nice guy in the face of conflict. His portrayal as a man trapped between doing the right thing and the thing he wants to do is the central theme of the movie played out against the backdrops of business, family and death.
The supporting cast was excellent as a collection of family and friends caught in much of the same dilemma as Matt, but coming to terms with it in far different ways. Special mention to the ever interesting Robert Forster and Beau Bridges (and those decadent eyebrows).
A special word about the King family. The trailer would leave us to believe that the two children are spoiled rotten offspring. In fact, they love their father and rally to his support when needed. Even the elder daughter's stoner boyfriend ends up as an important aspect of Matt's trip to resolve his "dilemma".
Finally, a word about George Clooney's award-nominated performance. Mr. Clooney is that odd kind of actor that everyone knows gives good performances, but that is probably discounted because he is a bit too cute. Perhaps that is why we're so comfortable with him blowing things up and being a tongue-in-cheek tough guy in the movies. In this film, he showed the torment and conflict of his character clearly and simply, without flourish and flash and the result was satisfying in the extreme.
