Nice movie, nice De niro...

A drama about family, a simple story, but because I love Robert De Niro, the film seems to be much better than it is. So, its fine.

Very good.

Weak film, full of cliche and contrived plot points, peopled with caricatures and flash back children. Not the kind of film a star studded cast should be turning out.

It's one of those movies where it would be so sappy and unwatchable if the actors weren't top notch. Since we have De Niro and Rockwell who are great and Barrymore and Beckinsale who are quite good the film is pretty enjoyable, albeit depressing.

Slow but decent.

The Italian original must be amazing; I can't think of any other way to get these actors and this budget for such a schmaltzy hack job. Featuring De Niro as some 70 year old putz who's apparently been going to clown school in his retirement (Gosh! The suitcase has a handle?), regularly envisions his grown kids as 12 years old, has voiceover narration monologues addressing his dead wife, and puts all the pieces together in a dream. A simply childish take on themes of family and mortality.

I wasn't expecting much, because De Niro's been phoning it in for years, but he was actually the best part, with Rockwell a close second. It got a little weird in the middle with Frank imaging his young kids telling him what their adults selves were doing... but the message was nice and effective.

De Niro brings jolts of depth and feeling to a treacly premise. An amazing flashback scene pits a recalcitrant De Niro against a group of needy child actors who cannot match his profundity.

Well-directed and beautifully shot with a good cast, Everybody's Fine falls into the pit of becoming a bit too sappy later on, which is disappointing as it manages to avoid predictable over-sentimentality for so long beforehand. Not the film it could've been then, but still portrays an honest approach to some difficult family issues (for the most part), and is definitely De Niro's best performance since the '90s.

Sehr klischeehafte "alter, einsamer Mann wünscht sich, er hätte besseren Kontakt zu seinen Verwandten gehalten und macht das jetzt in einer Nacht und Nebel Aktion wieder gut"-Geschichte. Robert DeNiro kommt zwar als seniler, schnarchiger und vor allem erzkonservativer alter Sack nicht gerade gut an, die Darsteller und der konstant gefühlsduselige Tenor zusammen mit einigen hübschen Bildern retten ihn aber doch wieder. Etwas zu fad tut aber niemanden weh und man wird recht konstant unterhalten.

While it has its fair share of problems, Everybody's Fine is still a good movie. It could have easily been better, but its issues are generally overcome by the strong performances and touching story. I can't say I enjoyed it, but a successful film will make you feel something. That's the case here, and whether it's joy or sorrow that you feel, you'll likely not be bored. Everything you feel will stem from the amazing performance turned in by Robert De Niro.

De Niro rocks!

This movie has two good things: De Niro and a good twist; sadly, it has two bad things as well: way too sexy daughters to promote is significant idea (imo!), and some really obvious tear-moments that kind of fail. The movie is saved by De Niro who really looks like a lonely granddad; his children, on the other hand, are nothing above average. Good music score as well, though.

Surprisingly solid family drama. And certainly De Niro's finest performance since the 90s.

De Niro carries this film throughout. It's honest and warming yet at times heartbreaking. Very enjoyable.

Robert De Niro is wonderful.

De Niro is really great. The casting of the kids was off though. It's like they just tried to get as many famous people as possible with no concern that none of these people have any sort of believability of actually being related. This wasn't anything special but it was enjoyable and a nice portrait of family life. Very sad at times.

Rueful road movie, an American resetting of a Giuseppe Tornatore tearjerker. Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell, and Drew Barrymore do not have much the look of siblings, but Robert DeNiro has the look of a lonely man, and the film is cleanly photographed and, till a late and little attempt at feel-good, keenly observed.

Everbody's not Fine... It's a lie...

A bit too much of a tearjerker at times, but it mostly earns its emotional hits with an excellent performance from De Niro, who shows he can still be more than just a caricature of himself. The rest of the cast is pretty good too, even if not necessarily believable as his children.

not catchy

at last a good Drama Movie.
