Descendants, The

While a grieving, successful Hawaiian lawyer (George Clooney) on Oahu negotiates a sale of a prime, stunningly beautiful property on Kauai worth millions on behalf of a multitude of cousins (Beau Bridges, Michael Ontkean, John McManus, Hugh Foster, Matt Esecson, Matt Corboy, Stanton Johnston, and Tiare R. Finney) in this Oscar-nominated, well-acted, down-to-earth, somber, uneven-paced drama, he is also trying to raise two precocious daughters (Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller) after his wife (Patricia Hastie) ends up in a coma due to a tragic boating accident and learning that she had an affair with a real estate agent (Matthew Lillard), who has a wife (Judy Greer) and two young children.
