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.

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
11/26/09
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.
11/26/09
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.
11/23/09
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.
11/11/09
The film’s finale is so generically feel-good that it’s hard to feel much of anything watching it.
11/05/09
The film is rigorously streamlined to deliver a good emotional uppercut by the end, and purely on the strength of its craft, it connects.
