No one runs like a frantic George Clooney. I think it is the scene in the trailer, but George running in his beach shoes down the middle of the road with his arms flailing says "middle aged dad needs help" like nothing else I have seen. Clooney plays a guy with a wife in a coma and two kids who need a father. Through in a bunch of additional stressors (he also happens to be a member of a family that are descendents of Hawaiian royalty, and who own a huge plot of land on Kauai for which he negotiating a politically charged sale... for example) and see how George reacts. While on the face it seems farcical, the film is well done and made me laugh and think about what is important in life. An excellent job of not taking itself too seriously, but also being a serious film.
