Already in my Netflix queue. It's always a crap shoot when it comes to Clooney's films.

I agree, but apparently the Hollywood Foreign Press were sold on it. I'll definitely rent it, not yet decided on a purchase or not.

Saw this at the Naro, our local limited release theater, two days ago. The film...fantastic. Clooney never fails for me.

[Seymour]

Gettin' it.

[robertc88]

For me, one theater viewing was enough. Therefore no interest in buying this or renting for that matter.

I loved this movie and really hope it gets best picture. I went in not knowing what to exspect and left very happy. I cant wait to get it on Blu.

Early information to retailers states that this title from Fox Searchlight Pictures will street in the USA on March 13th, 2012.

From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning Sideways, set in Hawaii, The Descendants is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries. -- (C) Fox Searchlight

Nominated for 5 Academy Awards at the Oscars, including:

- Best Picture
- Best Actor (George Clooney)
- Best Director (Alexander Payne)
- Best Film Editing (Kevin Trent)
- Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) (Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, Jim Rash)

Would love to pick this one up day one!

Definitely a day one for me. I already have it reserved for free with trades at MovieStop.

I feel so out of sync and not outgoing because I went with my GF to see this before noon (I'm a night owl, and usually sleep until like 3pm). I had a $10 credit on my AMC Stubs card, and expected to pay $10 for 2 tickets. Imagine my face when I heard I only owed $2.00 since matinees are $6 rather than $10. I told myself I'd wake up earlier to pay less for movies at the theater... but I haven't since. Lol.

Anyways, it's a great movie with some fun comedy, emotional drama and great acting from Clooney and the rest of the cast.

[Edword]

I'm hoping to go see it in the next couple weeks. (It's released everywhere starting today correct?) I rarely go see a movie that isn't a matinee. I'm too used to paying $7.50 for a ticket that $10-11 is too much now.

[remake]

So this movie has been in wide release since early December and already has made $52M at the domestic box office, and my theatre (one of the biggest in the state) JUST NOW gets it today.

I did do a forum search, and nothing popped up for a thread. Ah, well. Mods either lock this one up or merge them or something. My bad.

[hawaii sun]

Might see this weekend, also day 1 buy for me.

Ordered at Movie Stop awhile back. Loved the film.

Shailene Woodley delivered one top notch performance.

Mods please merge this thread to the official thread.

Went to see this on 01/28/12 , I really like the film and I will pick this up when it comes out. I was kind of disappointed that there were only 4 people including myself there in the theater to see this.
