'Everybodys Fine' movie review

from PhantomTollbooth, give this PG-13 movie 4/5 stars:

In the new, holiday, family centered film Everybody’s Fine, Frank (Robert De Niro) is recently retired and even more recently widowed. His four grown children are living in different parts of the US and apparently doing quite well for themselves. When all four of them cancel on a weekend get together for entirely different reasons Frank decides to take a road trip and stop in on each of them unannounced. What he discovers is that none of them are quite living the American dream his wife has led him to believe all these years. Her response to his inquiries about the kids was always, “everybody’s fine”. As Frank visits each of his kids he realizes more and more how out of touch he has been. He worked hard to give them a better life but in the end has to come to terms with how great a sacrifice it was.

If you have watched the trailer for this movie you may get the idea that it is a comic filled adventure of Frank and his family.
