Movie Review: Descendants 3 1/2 stars

George Clooney stars in this independent film about a absentee father who must become the main parent when his wife is in a coma due to a boating accident.   Clooney has a poor track record with independent films.  They tend to be quirky but not very good.   This is an exception to that rule.  This is a very touching film.  You'll love all the characters in it and be hoping that everything turns out okay for this dysfunctional family.  All the characters seem real and you really feel sorry for the state the family is in and hope they can overcome it all.

This movie will be a contender for best picture this year and I recommend you watch it before it disappears.  Unfortunately, it is playing in only a few theaters.   Seems theaters want to show tripe like The Sitter and Tower Heist rather than truly well made movies.
