Director/writer Alexander Payne is back and he’s brought George Clooney with him.
The trailer for THE DESCENDANTS looks like a true return to form for Payne. Clooney tries his best to deal with the situations that life has handed him and taking care of two daughters is never an easy thing to do alone. The film looks heart warming and overall hilarious, especially watching Robert Forster punch that annoying kid in the face. You’ll enjoy it.
Check out the synopsis and trailer below.
“From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning SIDEWAYS, set in Hawaii, THE DESCENDANTS is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family’s land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.”
