This is one of the movies that I'd been wanting to see since it was released.
It's just another day in paradise for Matt King (played by George Clooney) - but don't let the stunning Hawaiian setting fool you - even though he lives in a beautiful tropical setting, his life is far from trouble-free. His wife is in a coma, following a boating accident. Things haven't been going too well between the two of them, but the accident has made him realize that he is ready to refocus on this relationship. As we will see, it is a little late for that - not only is his wife in a coma, it's unlikely that she will ever wake up. Just as we're starting to think that the film will be about Matt as a kind of clueless dad to rambunctious Scotty and wild child Alexandra, dealing with the whole coma situation, we learn something else: Matt's wife has been having an affair. As a successful, workaholic lawyer, Matt has no clue about this either. Everything he thought he knew has changed in an instant.
It's a pretty film to watch, first of all for the exotic location, and secondly for the performances put in by George Clooney, Shailene Woodley and the rest of the cast.
