EVERYBODY'S FINE

Movie: Everybody's Fine
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Loved this movie but it was sadder than I expected it to be. I saw it with my friend Laura who also enjoyed it but cried a lot. Robert DeNiro (Frank) is a retired widower who is lonely and decides to surprise each of his 4 children by visiting them during Christmas. During these unexpected visits, Frank learns something about each child that he did not know, and also something about himself.....that he wasn't the perfect Father and probably expected too much from them. They all learn a lot about each other and finally become a "family" again. Drew Barrymore is darling as one of his daughters. I highly recommend the movie but take a hankie with you.
