Only Oscar-winning writer-director Alexander Payne (Sideways) would think to cast the famously handsome George Clooney as being a disheveled dad as part of his outstanding adaptation of Kaui Hart Hemmings's tragicomic novel. Clooney dials down the glamour to play Matt King, a Hawaii real-estate attorney using a propensity for unflattering shirts and ill-fitting trousers. When Matt's wife, Elizabeth, ultimately ends up in a coma following a water-skiing accident, Matt must learn to balance the parenting of his resentful daughters, Scottie (Amara Miller) and Alexandra (Shailene Woodley, The Key Life with the American Teenager), with all the sale of the pristine plot of Kauai land that stands to produce the King cousins, including scruffy Hugh (Beau Bridges), a fortune. As Elizabeth's condition worsens, Matt contacts friends and relatives, like her fiercely protective father (Robert Forster), so that they'll have the possibility to say goodbye. In the process, he finds out she was having an affair with realtor Brian Speer (Matthew Lillard, effectively cast against type), so he and the girls, including Alex's hilariously mellow friend, Sid (Nick Krause), carry on an island-hopping trip, ostensibly to add Brian on the mix, but Matt really wants to discover out what his wife saw inside guy. His journey from naiveté to knowledge brings out Clooney's soulful side, developing a believably flawed, deeply sympathetic figure. If Payne leans too heavily about the slack-key soundtrack, his love for his characters, including Judy Greer as Matt's female counterpart, results as part of his most emotionally satisfying movie to date. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
