Clooney plays Matt King a less than perfect husband and father whose less than perfect, extreme sport addict, wife Elizabeth ends up in a coma following a speed boating accident and will soon die. King decides to round up both his perfect little girl, and &nbsp;his less than perfect teenage daughter , who brings along her moronic boyfriend and make the rounds of family and friends to tell them that they need to get to the hospital to say their goodbye&#8217;s to Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CWHNXJ1K4yA\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s pretty sad, but then Matt starts to find out things about his wife that he has to go check out on his own. This is against a backdrop of Matt&#8217;s cousins and a big land deal coming up where the family is going to sell out a huge chunk of unspoiled &nbsp;Hawaiian wilderness to a developer.<\/p>\n<p>Clooney is a great actor. This is a serious movie but he provides comic relief. He can just look into the camera and be funny. He reminds me a little of Steve Martin sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Also interesting is the Hawaii we see in this movie. Much of it is the Hawaii of Dog the Bounty Hunter. the red neck side of things.<\/p>\n<p>I give the movie four stars out of five. Go see it, leave the kids home though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sweetie and I went to see The&nbsp;Descendants&nbsp;with George Clooney.
