Robert Deniro stars as a recently retired widower out of touch with his adult children. After a family weekend barbecue event falls flat, he sets out on a cross country journey to visit each of his four adult children in an effort to make a connection and bring the family back together. He has always been under the impression that his children were successful and happy in their adult lives, but one by one he encounters one disapointment after the other.
This is the best Deniro performance in sometime. The film is all about his character and,as we've come to expect from Deniro, he carries the film with ease, making you see the charcater rather than the actor . There are also good supporting performances by Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale.
This is a poignant, true-to-life drama that may make you uncomfortable if you, like me, perhaps expected too much of your children in adult life. Like Deniro, I discovered that just because my kids didn't meet my expectations, didn't mean they weren't successful and happy in their own lives.
Everybody's Fine is a well constructed, well acted film that will leave you thinking about it long after the credits fade.
