I watched the George Clooney movie The Descendants on Saturday. If you love the Hawaiian islands, it's probably a no brainer to go see it for the scenery and more so the great Hawaiian mele soundtrack. Lots of great classics by Gabby Pahinui, Makaha Sons, Dennis Kamakahi etc. I found myself taken to the islands the minute the opening credits started rolling.
The movie is about a haole land baron (George Clooney) trying to connect with his two daughters after their mother was injured in a boating accident.
It's got a few funny moments in it but mostly drama and a bit of teary eyed parts. I found it entertaining, maybe because I'm biased to anything Hawaiian. A couple walked out in the middle of the movie and probably figured that either they were bored or was expecting more of a comedy which it really isn't IMHO.
All in all, worth seeing if you want a 2hr Hawaii fix.
