George Clooney’s Trouble in Paradise
Descendants, this year's best Movies for Grownups arrives on DVD/ Blu-Ray
In the Oscar-winning film The Descendants, a grieving husband played by George Clooney must deal with betrayal, mortality, and two high-spirited daughters. Writer-Director Alexander Payne’s remarkable script—which won him an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay—miraculously walks the line between searing drama and delightful comedy.
