Everybody's Fine
2009 · 1h 39m · Drama
Skip it. 'Everybody's Fine' sits awkwardly between heartfelt family drama and manipulative sentiment, and the critics agree it doesn't quite land—the middling scores across the board tell you this well-meaning road trip movie is more obligation than enjoyment. Unless you're a die-hard De Niro fan or specifically craving a by-the-numbers family reconciliation story, there are better ways to spend your evening.
Plot
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.
