1/4

Bill Weber

In his career-debasement race against Al Pacino, must Robert De Niro inflict a moribund genre botch like Everybody's Fine on the public just in time to grinch us up for Christmas?

3.5/5

Pete Hammond

Americanized remakes of foreign hits often miss what made those properties work in the first place, but Jones, DeNiro and company know less is more in this instance and deliver a work that’s very fine indeed.

B-

Cole Smithey

Based on Giuseppe Tornatore's 1990 film "Stanno tutti bene," writer/director Kirk Jones fulfills the material's dramatic demands without putting too fine a point on Frank's emotional awakening. But it's De Niro's naturalistic performance that captures you

Prairie Miller

The ironically titled Everybody's Fine, a remake of the whimsical Italian weepie, boasts tenderly crafted geriatric redemption, along with seasoned actor De Niro likewise maturing down a more quietly contemplative and introspective path.

2.0/5

Tony Macklin

Everybody's Fine is a nice picture about a dysfunctional family which keeps secrets. It should appeal to nice, dysfunctional, secretive people in the audience -- which probably is the majority.

Emanuel Levy

Under the helm and pen of Kirk Jones what was a sensitive and touching dramedy in Tornatore's 1990 film has become conventional, predictable and schmaltzy, forcing the actors, especially the estimable De Niro, to emote in a big way.

Tim Grierson

The film’s finale is so generically feel-good that it’s hard to feel much of anything watching it.

Andrew Barker

The film is rigorously streamlined to deliver a good emotional uppercut by the end, and purely on the strength of its craft, it connects.
