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.

Critics Consensus

A calm, charismatic performance from Robert De Niro nearly saves the movie, but ultimately, Everybody's Fine has the look and feel of a stereotypical Christmas dramedy.

Everybody's Fine balances humor and drama in a familial odyssey anchored by compelling performances - particularly from De Niro and Drew Barrymore.

De Niro does quietly affecting work, but he canâ(TM)t elevate a pat Family Rediscovering Each Other drama into anything much above afternoon TV movie fodder.

Watching a 60-something Robert De Niro travel the country in trains and buses to pay a surprise visit to his four children (who all bail on his invitation to come home) in a small-scale drama has a potent, empathetic simplicity.

2/4

Instead of a holiday romp chalked with spice and laughs, the result is a mature and schmaltzy story about how families can go through life without ever knowing the ones close to them.

2.5/4.0

Especially towards film's end, De Niro does indeed have a few moments to shine and shine he does.

This movie hit harder than I thought it would. I really enjoyed Robert De Niro in this role; he was still Robert De Niro, but much less mobster and much more typical Italian-American dad that just wants the best for his children and is slightly out of touch with our modern-day (Modern Day is 2009). If you are in the mood for an emotional adventure drama that isn't overly sappy and cheesy, this one is right on! - Jon

“Everybody's Fine” Everybody’s fine is a movie about a family that loses touch with their aging parents starring Robert De Niro and Drew Barrymore. The film heads off with Robert De Niro wanting to get in touch with his children who cannot seem to find the time to come and visit him especially during the holidays. His character in this film was a person who worked many years in a factory setting putting the coating on the electrical wires and telephone wires that are strung across this country. The story involves telling the story of each one of the children who left the nest and after their mother passed away virtually made excuses not to come and visit with their father. This is the story about those children and their father. This film is for all ages and I highly recommend this Robert De Niro film.
