Great movie. George was incredible. The daughters were great to especially the oldest sister.

A good movie overall. It kept my interest. I found that George Clooney was very believable in his character, sometimes I find in movies that use big stars its sometimes difficult to get past who the person is playing the role and connect with them but he did a good job of making you believe his character.

I was surprised at how George Clooney, a perpetual ladies' man and free-ranging, child-free bachelor, portrayed the troubled husband and father in this film. His character, Matt King, had a triple-threat of stressors to deal with: a dying wife whom he discovered had been cheating on him; two rebellious and unhappy daughters with whom he was completely out of synch; and a looming real-estate transaction worth millions whose far-reaching ramifications would impact the many cousins in his family -- the Descendants of the title -- upon his decision to sell or not sell 25,000 acres of pristine Hawaiian wilderness to a developer. Director Alexander Payne carefully captures the nuances in Clooney's

Beautiful movie on so many levels. The performances, especially Clooney, were fantastic and added to an already great script.

Shailene Woodley shined in this movie, and after the movie all I wanted to do was book a trip to Hawaii!
