George Clooney is the big name in this tragic and funny story of a dad coping with the aftermath of his wife’s accident. The Descendants has been nominated for five Oscars.
With such a huge star and the nominations, you’d have thought the Moviejuice reviewers would be excited by this movie, wouldn’t you?
However, they weren’t bowled over by this set and filmed in Hawaii drama.
Film critic Siobhan Synott said: “It creates unrealistic expectations. It’s a perfectly nice art-house movie that has an enormous star at the front running around in the world’s worst flip flops."
And she damned it with faint praise: “It’s a nice movie its ‘a word I keep coming up against.”
It does sound like it might be worth watch to find out just how bad those flipflops are.
So what else did our trusty team of reviewers have to say? For the full review, watch Moviejuice tonight on STV at 8pm.
