Nothing special except the land owning on Hawaii plot... ;>
Such a refreshing way to handle such grim subject matters.
"Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen."
When this came out, I hated it. I thought it was slow and boring. 10 years later, I pop this in and expect to hate it, but nope. This movie is really good. It takes it's time but it's necessary. Also, Hawaii vibes are so chill and I love how everyone dresses.
Decent flick about a difficult part of life well handled
This movie received a lot of hype and it completely delivered. It was everything you'd want in a movie - funny, touching, intelligent, moving and well-acted. Loved it. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com
Kissing the other wife like that was crazy. I thought this was gonna be a lot sadder but if anything I felt sorry for George Clooney’s character. If any woman cheats on you with Matthew Lillard and you look like George Clooney I'm pulling the plug ASAP no hesitation.
Very good movie but it is really held by the amazing script, the fact that "serious" comedy is involved in a drama is fantastic. Clooney's acting is so consistent throughout the movie that is award-winning deserved.
Strange tonal inconsistencies throughout. Alexander Payne often tries for pathos that I don’t think he earns–his antipathy for his characters creates an emotional distance for me that leaves me feeling cold. I like Shailene Woodley in this role, but there were some pretty strange miscastings. Judy Greer is magnificent as always and should be in all the things.
It was rather boring, didn't really offer anything new or interesting, both in its screenplay and in its directing. Only rewatched it cus I had to for a class. Clooney and Woodley were great, though!
Subtle and great at the same time. The "calm strenght" of a tremendous work with a lot of feeling.
This one was a great movie and I am not just talking about George Clooney being in there.

Pointless movie without good cinematography or any special atmosphere.Some dialogues are completely off and i was waiting something totally different.I think it's almost a waste of time if it wasn't for shailene whose perfomance was wow i could rate it lower.
