This is the new George Clooney film. His wife is in a coma and he has to learn how to cope with both his daughters, and accidentally finds out about his wife’s affair.
The film is based in Hawaii and the backdrops are spectacular. But that is probably where I stop being generous about this film.
I think George Clooney’s character (Matt King) is far too laid back about his reactions to finding out about his wife’s affair, finding out his friends knew and finding out that his wife is not going to make it. It is hard to feel a connection to someone as rich as Matt King and his many cousins when most people are really feeling the pinch! I just don’t get or feel for him in this role yet it should be pulling at your heart strings. (Dying wife – tick, Beautiful backdrop- tick, tragedy in family such as an affair- tick, difficult relationship with daughters-tick)
Very poor role for Clooney considering he has done some outstanding roles in the past (such as ER where I fell in love with Doug) and more recently The American.
