Richard Roeper's Reviews - The Descendants Review

[pettypettywoodchuck2]

I would take Clooney over Giamatti or Hanks any day of week in this one.  He was great in this

[nickmesafilms]

i agree on the B+

[urooz]

where's the review?? its more like an overview.

[srb8522]

Scenes were definitely "uncomfortably accurate." Just saw it tonight. Fantastic.

[chicagopoetry]

Finally saw it. The only thing I would disagree with is that I didn't find George Clooney's character "comedic" whatsoever.

[uwabbit]

Boo, Richard. This movie is at least an A.

[UNDERGROUND2000]

Clooney rules...if he didn't exist we would have to invent him...

[Comictalent]

Absolutely great film, among the best of 2011, but Roeper is nuts to say Clooney was miscast. He carried the movie in arguably his most impressive, mature work to date

[AKenjiB]

@Comictalent

Yeah I agree with Roeper about 90% of the time. This is one of the only exceptions

[Moviewhiz1]

This looks amazing. What frustrates me is the fact that it is limited. It's nowhere near me. Another great example of a very intriguing independent film I can't see because of very few theaters. God bless the fact I got to see "The Way" on the big screen.

[JakesHomeWorkouts]

Looks like a good flick.

[Vameon]

I thought he would like this more, he loves Payne, Clooney and dramas like this, I was really thinking this would be an A+ review.

He still liked it and all, I just thought he would love this movie.

[eileencannon]

This is a great example of how thoughtful and balanced RR's reviews are.

@imsusceptible Why so serious? Because every critic is hailing this as a masterpiece Richard should hail it too? LMAO. That's so ignorant of you. Not to mention, this is far from a masterpiece you phoney. A masterpiece is 2001 or even The Tree of Life because it achieves much more than this The Descendants achieved. Just go buy some tisues.

[Jove89]

@imsusceptible And what knowledge about cinema do you have? I don't see any. To say that The Descendants is a masterpiece shows a LACK of knowledge about true cinema. Second to that, I'm LMAO at your english knowledge. Learn how to talk and express yourself before acting like a bitch over the internet. Go home and watch Transformers, a true masterpiece because it achieves that in a way being both intense and entertaining at the same time. LOL. Your explanation was hilarious...

[DAmicoJohnny]

@imsusceptible "Man just grow up!" What does that even mean? Are you saying because he didn't love this movie he is immature? That doesn't make much sense. If you can't back up an opinion with any valid arguments, then your opinion isn't worth much.

[perfectangel579]

I was on the fence about wanting to see this but now I want to just because of what you said about it.

[Reborn8303]

Tom Hanks ? Tom Hanks ? Toms Hanks is dead Kid !

[narutocaprirequest2]

ill buy the blu ray

[ClockworkCaptain]

booooo George Clooney was NOT A MISCAST. Casting Tom Hanks or Paul Giammati would make no sense. Clooney was actually written for the role. B+? More like A+

[Jove89]

@ClockworkCaptain learn how to respect people's opinions in order for them to respect yours you douche.

[IamSnoogans]

This seems like the type of drama/comedy that I usually go for. I'll have to check it out.
