The widowed pensioner Frank knows nothing to do with himself. His job, the PVC insulation of telephone lines, it can result pulmonary fibrosis not exercise more, his wife, who always kept in contact with the children scattered across the country, has died. Everyday life? Not applicable. Only on the family reunion he says. The garden is placed on the shot, the best meat and the most expensive wine to offer the local supermarket has to be purchased. Only to listen to the call answers, on which a withdrawal is recorded after the next. His son David, who as an artist in New York earns his living, can be excused even by one of his sisters. Frank can not sit up and decides that the children complete surprise visits. But neither the trip, nor the arrival at the respective Destination goes as planned - or rather hoped ...
"Everybody's fine" - we say it honestly - a tearjerker. But not in the sense which might suspect many of you now. For he comes up without the emotional sledgehammer, must not press on the artificial tears. The director did a great job and skillfully conveys Frank's loneliness - the only fully revealed when he was on the trip every even moderately interested in telling his life story. There are moments like these that is clear, not least by the power of Robert De Niro, that Frank just missed interpersonal contacts - and needs.
his life he has sacrificed for his family - isolated several thousand miles phone cord a year to give them a good life, and later, realize their dreams and goals. A loving father does something. The thanks? Children who have no confidence in him and lie to him, what is all too obvious and Frank does not miss. As a viewer suffers with you when he arrives in New York to visit his son David, who is nowhere to be found again. If, when his daughter Amy runs to closed doors and hear that they can come up with several excuses so he does not stay any longer, and if Frank begins to dawn slowly that it also Robert and Rosie do not tell the whole truth without prejudice, this
The characters are great and unusually well-developed. They are represented by Kate Beckinsale (Amy), Sam Rockwell (Robert) and Drew Barrymore (class than Rosie).
"Everybody's fine" is a touching movie about family life and how even well-intentioned lies can destroy it. Who tearjerker not go away may be, this does not get used to - all others he was highly recommended.
