The Descendants (2011)

A rich lawyer and landowner in Hawaii is legally pushed to selling his lands. Meanwhile, his wife is in a coma after a jet-skiing accident. He finds out she was having an affair. All that and he has two daughters to look after, whom he hasn't payed much attention to in the past.

An absurdly bad movie, almost totally devoid of storytelling interest and human understanding. The only bearable moments are when good old Beau Bridges brings his unfailing acting charisma to the screen (and, well, his part is well-written, which accounts for the "almost" above).

Rating: 25
