Last year's Best Picture nominees included The Kids Are All Right, a perfectly acceptable drama with good acting and good dialogue that I forgot within a week of leaving the theater. The Descendants fills that role this year. It's a solid little flick that never goes beyond that to be great. There's not much to be said about it - everything is pretty good, nothing is REALLY good. 2.5 stars.
Best Part: The overall story was a good one, and the Hawaiian setting made for a very interesting, strong sense of atmosphere.
Worst Part: That younger daughter was kind of an obnoxious character. I tired of her very quickly.
Flickchart: #803, below Being John Malkovich and above Sherlock Holmes.
