Tony Toscano reviews “Everybody’s Fine”
One of the problems I have with films boasting large casts is usually the director and screenwriter do not know what to do with all of them. This is the case with the new DeNiro film “Everybody’s Fine.”
It seems more like everybody’s lost in this family drama about re-connecting. DeNiro plays the patriarch of a family who has just lost his wife. It seems his wife was better at communicating with the kids and now as his loneliness creeps up on him, he wants to connect with his 4 children.
The film has a pretty good cast including Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell and Drew Barrymoore but all of them get lost in the shuffle. In the end Everybody’s Fine might have made a better Hallmark movie than a big feature film. It gets a C and is rated PG-13 for thematic elements and language.
