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.
