“Front Row Seat Movie Review”
I give “The Descendents” five barbecue bones. I just want to tell you that this movie is a “Trip”. If you are a reader of this review and do not understand what I mean by the word “Trip” as it relates to a movie; I’m sorry but I can’t give you a definition. It’s like some jokes “ask a friend for the meaning”. It is tremendously interesting to see how the storyline in this movie relates to the mother, who has an accident. I was intrigued by the performances. Clooney and Shailene Woodley are exceptional. Both are worthy of their Golden Globe nominations. If you are in need of a movie that will challenge your emotions it is “The Descendents”. I would encourage you to see “The Descendents”. You will not be disappointed.
The name of my movie review is “Front Row Seat Movie Review”.
Clarification of my rating levels are as follows:
My rating system starts with the lowest level of:
¤ One Chicken Bone: Is the Lowest level “pretty bad!”
If a movie receives this rating you should avoid it during your lifetime! ‘You shouldn’t even see a “bootleg” copy of this movie!
¤ Poor: One Barbeque Bone
¤ Fair: Two Barbeque Bones
¤ OK: Three Barbeque Bones
¤ Good: Four Barbeque Bones
¤ Excellent: Five Barbeque Bones
¤ Outstanding: The upper level rating for a movie is “Five Barbeque Bones with Barbeque Sauce”. If a movie receives this rating, you need to stop whatever you are doing and go to see it now!
