THE casting in The Descendants really shouldn’t work. It’s a film, after all, in which George Clooney plays a cuckolded husband who discovers his comatose wife was not only about to leave him for another man, but was about to leave him for another man played by a guy whose last significant role was as Shaggy in the live-action Scooby-Doo movies (Matthew Lillard).
