Synopsis
Ned is in the throes of a mid-life crisis. His work as a writer on an outrageous, semi-pornographic TV show is less than satisfying. His fifteen year old son has just told him he is gay and his eleven year old is afraid of, well pretty much everything. When his wife, Jeannie, moves her sick and embittered father from Detroit into their home in NY, it puts added stress on an already strained marriage. And when a sexy female co-worker puts the moves on Ned, the temptation sends him spiraling.

The New York Times
Very well written and acted, Every Day feels like a glorified television drama softened with comic and surreal trimmings. - 60
Movieline
Disappointingly ordinary film. - 60
New York Daily News
There are too many overwritten moments designed solely to make the movie more interesting -- when, in fact, they undercut the low-key relatability that serves as its strongest asset. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
It's hard to empathize with the family in the indie drama Every Day when each member is so sitcom-ready. - 50
Village Voice
Levine, previously a writer for "Nip/Tuck," sets the bar low, content to work within the shopworn crises, lazy epiphanies, and eye-rolling moments of redemption that have become standard formula in Amerindie family dramedies of the past 20 years. - 50
Los Angeles Times
What makes this intriguing, yet woefully uneven film so relatable is that there is nothing about Ned's experience that seems extreme. - 50
Observer
Too relentlessly depressing to recommend to the everyday audience. It seems to be on automatic pilot. Horrible, sad things keep happening, but it just goes on. - 42
The A.V. Club
At the movie's center, Schreiber approaches the role with a seriousness that lacks joy or any other colorful inflection.
