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.

Riese Bernard

Autostraddle

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

Pseudo-redemptive mush.

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 2/5

The Screen

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.

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 2/4

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

I really enjoyed the movie. I don't really care for Mr. De Niro's politics but I think he's a great actor and he did a great job in this movie. I enjoyed the storyline a lot and it hit home. I also liked Sam Rockwell in the movie.
