Everybody's Fine balances humor and drama in a familial odyssey anchored by compelling performances - particularly from De Niro and Drew Barrymore.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 18, 2011

Pseudo-redemptive mush.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 3, 2011

De Niro does quietly affecting work, but he canâ(TM)t elevate a pat Family Rediscovering Each Other drama into anything much above afternoon 온라인카지노추천 movie fodder.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

Forget Hollywood remakes; this is one film Iâ(TM)d like to see reworked by an arthouse director and a pack of actors with smaller names and bigger reserves of subtlety.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

Itâ(TM)s a little like About Schmidt minus the sly wit, subtlety and directorial flair.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

A refreshingly open, untricksy performance from De Niro, and very possibly the harbinger of an excellent late period for him as an actor. As for the film, well "fine" is what can reasonably be said.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2010

Its essential niceness should not be discounted; niceness is a rare commodity in films today.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2010

Itâ(TM)s a four-square set-up, but with only the barest flicker of familial friction heating the undercooked drama.

Full Review | Feb 26, 2010

De Niro alone is worth watching, even if one suspects the pain on his face comes from the script he must speak rather than the story he must enact.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

De Niro, while initially expressionless, gives the film a heart. Barrymore and Beckinsale stay one-dimensionally cute. A weepie that wholly fails to make you weep.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

Tapping into parental abandonment issues, it's an occasionally touching, if frustratingly one-note drama - played, relentlessly, on a tinkly-sad piano.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2010

It's mushy, fake and full of hopelessly silly feelgood sentiment. Nobody could transcend this, not even De Niro - nor Sam Rockwell, the best of the supporting players.

| Feb 26, 2010

Mushier than a half-chewed rusk. And while that doesn't necessarily make it a bad movie, it DOES make it a syrupy one - with enough hugging and learning to triple your cholesterol during the 100-minute run-time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 26, 2010

De Niro digs into Frank with relish without overplaying his hand.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 28, 2009

Is it anything special? No, not really. But it's an agreeable and even touching little snapshot of family life.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 10, 2009

I didn't feel like I was watching characters who were related to each other. Every scene they are in, I felt like I was watching movie stars meeting each other for the first time.

Full Review | Dec 7, 2009

Begins as merely intolerable and ends up borderline-reprehensible.

| Original Score: D | Dec 4, 2009
