Frank Goode asuu yksin Elmirassa, New Yorkissa. Äskettäin leskeksi jäänyt Frank kärsii sydänvaivoista, on jäänyt tehtaalta eläkkeelle ja ylpeilee sillä, että on kannustanut aikuisia lapsiaan eteenpäin elämässä. Kesällä kaikki neljä lasta kieltäytyvät tapaamisesta, joten Frank päättää lääkärin varoituksista huolimatta mennä lastensa luokse yllätysvierailuille. Hän lähtee tapaamaan taiteilijapoikaansa New Yorkiin, mainostoimistossa työskentelevää tytärtään Chicagoon, kiertueella olevaa kapellimestaripoikaansa Denveriin ja esiintyjänä työskentelevää tytärtään Vegasiin. Kenenkään elämäntilanne ei kuitenkaan vastaa hänen odotuksiaan. (Nordisk Film Fin.)

The cast is good, but overall, it's pretty weak. The only actor who truly has an interesting role here is Robert De Niro, which is sometimes disrupted by unnecessary flashbacks, though they have an intriguing conception. It's too straightforward, too simple, and ultimately, it's just too long because it doesn't really amount to much.

Though sentimental in a typical American fashion, Everybody’s Fine is a sincere and kind reminder of family values. Sam Rockwell, Kate Beckinsale and Drew Barrymore enjoy every scene with their acting idol De Niro to the fullest, which is probably the best thing about the movie.

A pleasant picture with an excellent cast. De Niro’s presence alone was enough to convince Sam Rockwell, Drew and Kate to agree to the role of his children. And all of them naturally want to shine in front the old man, so they do their very best, but daddy is still number one and outshines them all, pulling occasional trumps from his sleeve. The story is actually a kind of a retirement road movie about family values. I like this kind of movie and here they didn’t hesitate to push it to the limit and beyond.

I don't know the Italian original, but if it's better, I can't imagine how. Everybody's Fine is a film that must grab everyone's heart. Not just people who have parent/child issues. De Niro gives a great performance, his "old man" is exactly what you expect - smiling, suspicious, often disappointed and now and then dog-eyed, yet still searching for the meaning of everything that is happening around him. I give it four stars and a bit of a fifth because I was incredibly moved by the whole thing... And I don't just mean the "Why did you lie to me?" scene from the table talk. I would never have imagined what the sight of ordinary telephone wires can do to a person. Actually, sorry, I mean their PVC packaging. Are you looking for a drama that will make you laugh, think and move you, and after which you will leave the movie theater satisfied with a smile on your lips? Here you go.
