Love this movie very heartfelt and eye opening to issues we face that we suppress over time.

Considering the cast it should have been a lot better, but instead it gets too meta and ends up being very Every Day and predictable. Will the man married to a woman dealing with so much she doesn't have the emotional energy to make love to him end up fucking the young, hot thing at work? Of course. Will the cranky, sick father and long put upon daughter reconcile just in time for him to die? Definitely. Will the teenager discovering himself push boundaries a little too far and wind up realising his parents were right and he's not quite as grown up as he thought? You betcha. Did I ruin the film for you? No. You know all this will happen already 2 minutes after it starts. I did enjoy Brian Dennehy as the cranky Dad who stopped trying to be a father to one child after his other child dies tragically and is dealing with his own mortality. I hated Liev Schreiber's character straight off because he wasn't accepting of his son being gay. You can't come back from that for me. Big meh.

A stellar cast but the story of a dysfunctional family failed to impress because of missed opportunities. The last months of a dying grandfather Brian Dennehy living with his daughter (Helen Hunt) and son in law, Liev Schreiber, a writer for TV show, gay teenage son and a younger son. A trying time for the family given grandfather's trying physical and medical needs. LIev's conscientious husband, father and son in law role gave us a talkative and caring character that was quite refreshingly different from the usual cheerless, grim faced man of few words 'Ray Donovan'. Liev had more lines in this one film than the whole season of 'Ray Donovan'. Except for one short scene of music ensemble at the end with daughter and grandsons surrounding the ailing grandpa, there were not enough tender moments to convince us viewers the ending where the family appeared to be sombre in grief while the ashes of grandpa were scattered in the ocean.

It's not really interesting or have something really good here, even my dear Ezra Miller, who is always amazing at what he does, can make it worth.

A typical family drama with flat characters and an ordinary story.

My wife and I watched this on a Friday night after a long week at work. Great cast and perhaps it was a bit predictable but it was a fine movie and a bit touching at the end. I read some negative reviews before watching it, so I was not expecting to like it, but we both did.

Writer-Director Richard Levine was one of the minds behind Nip/Tuck, so it's not surprising that his debut feature film is branded with the television medium's worst impulses.

Real life isn't choreographed for maximum impact, it's messy and unpredictable. At its best, so is "Every Day."

The problem with Every Day is that it doesn't take a third major element into account in the film/audience relationship equation: complete apathy.
