This film was reviewed by Dr. Barry Hummel of QDREF on February 22, 2012.
Additional Comments: "There was a minimal amount of unecessary outdoor smoking by extras in The Desendants. The film presented a balanced message as the youngest character, Scottie King (Amara Miller) remarked that she 'shouldn't be around secondhand smoke'. Of course, all of this is less of an issue as the film is R-Rated; however, it is another example of a high-profile Academy Award Best Picture Nominee that includes smoking."
