Everybody's Fine

Amazing film!!! It is a story that surely will make you cry. Maybe the plot is basic, but the events are very clearly connected and as a consequence the story results simple and easy to understand. Actors play their roles in an excellent way, between them the main figure is Robert Deniro which is the protagonist in one of his best performance on the big movie.

My first reaction to seeing this film is that it was great to see Robert De Niro playing in a serious role after two decades of (almost completely) mediocre movies. I mean, who was picking his scripts? Was he short on money? Anyway, as you probably know, the film is *fine*. It does bring a lot of things together at the end, and the last 20 minutes are really enjoyable. But the rest of the movie is rather pedestrian, and I think that has a lot to do with the casting of De Niro. He doesn't do pedestrian well. We probably needed to have a little more insight into the character during the middle of the movie, and that just wasn't there. A better movie with similar themes would be About Schmidt, or if you are looking for a more recent example, His Three Daughters. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
