Eight months after the death of his wife, Frank Goode looks forward to a reunion with his four adult children. When all of them cancel their visits at the last minute, Frank, against the advice of his doctor, sets out on a road trip to reconnect with his offspring. As he visits each one in turn, Frank finds that his children's lives are not quite as picture-perfect as they've made them out to be.
Nominated for 1 Golden Globe. Another 1 win & 5 nominations.

If nothing else (and there ain't much else), Everybody's Fine does prove one thing: Even an actor with the gifts of Robert De Niro can't make bland interesting.

Promising start, but it unravels with an ill-advised confrontation scene and an ending that rings false.

I didn't feel like I was watching characters who were related to each other. Every scene they are in, I felt like I was watching movie stars meeting each other for the first time.

Is it anything special? No, not really. But it's an agreeable and even touching little snapshot of family life.

Forget Hollywood remakes; this is one film Ia(TM)d like to see reworked by an arthouse director and a pack of actors with smaller names and bigger reserves of subtlety.
