The Descendants

“The South Pacific ain't that terrific.”

In Hawaii, Matt King (George Clooney) is a land baron whose wife Elizabeth lies on life support after a boating accident. He flies with his daughters, Alexandra (Shailene Woodley) and Scottie (Amara Miller), from Oahu to Kauai to find the real estate broker Elizabeth was seeing. Alexander Payne puts a father who barely knows his girls in close quarters with them, and the three of them start learning each other.
