Synopsis
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.

Chicago Tribune
"Relief" is the word for it. It's a relief to see Robert De Niro giving an honest, effective starring performance in a project that does not stink and that, in fact, rises to a respectable level of filmmaking proficiency. How long has it been? - 70
Chicago Reader
This is sentimental but dramatically solid, its placid themes fortified by De Niro. - 63
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
What's finest about Everybody's Fine is to watch a good fella groping hopefully toward old age. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
All that could redeem this thoroughly foreseeable unfolding would be colorful characters and good acting. Everybody's Fine comes close, but not close enough. - 60
Variety
Though a bit too artful to merit the pejorative "tearjerker" label, the film is rigorously streamlined to deliver a good emotional uppercut by the end, and purely on the strength of its craft, it connects. - 40
Village Voice
Robert De Niro's only good at playing a dad in movies starring Ben Stiller? It's all so much raging bull. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Everybody’s Fine – a movie about the lies grown children tell their parents – is, ironically, one of the most disingenuous movies to come out of Hollywood in a while. - 25
Entertainment Weekly
Calculatedly soppy, seasonally phony Americanized remake of Giuseppe Tornatore's 1990 "Stanno Tutti Bene."
