new George Clooney film THE DESCENDANTS to open at the JPT Thanksgiving weekend

The JPT is pleased to announce that they will be one of only 200 theaters in the US to screen the new film THE DESCENDENTS over Thanksgiving weekend.  The film will open November 23, 2011.

From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning SIDEWAYS, set in Hawaii, THE DESCENDANTS is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.
