Review of The Descendants (2011) by Viet Phuong N — 24 Apr 2013
If Sideways is all about finding your own family, then The Descendants could be called Sideways Part II: Finding Back Your Family. A standardized Hollywood family drama at its very best: witty script (with a lot of somewhat cliché quotes, though), charming characters (especially the naughty kids), complicated situation and satisfying ending - but still possesses the essence of Alexander Payne: a lousy appearance and manner are utilized to cover an endearing and deeply human heart and soul, which are constantly searching for the very meaning of one's life: family.
