A widower who realized his only connection to his family was through his wife sets off on an impromptu road trip to reunite with each of his grown children. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 02/23/2010 Starring: Robert De Niro Kate Beckinsale Run time: 100 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Kirk JonesOne thing Robert De Niro can't be accused of is avoiding a challenge. Everybody's Fine obliges this respected actor, who made his bones playing dangerous, volatile men, to portray a low-key retiree named Frank Goode. Frank's wife has died, and since she alone kept them in touch with their four grown offspring, now scattered around the country, he's doubly cut off from family. When the Goode kids all find excuses to skip a planned reunion, Frank hauls out his suitcase and boards Amtrak with the intention of dropping in on each of them: the tig! htly wound Chicago ad exec (Kate Beckinsale), the Denver musician (Sam Rockwell) who's supposedly a symphony conductor, the sweet Vegas showgirl (Drew Barrymore), and the Greenwich Village artist son who's nowhere to be found. That son remains offscreen for the duration, and his portentous absence has the unintended effect of emphasizing what a hollow enterprise Everybody's Fine is. Don't blame the cast, who do yeoman work trying to define their long-unsatisfactory relationship as parent and children. None of the kids hate Dad; they just never found a measure of comfort with him, so now everybody, far from being fine, is living one fiction or another to keep it mellow. For his part, Frank suffers from an undefined illness brought on by his life's work making insulation for phone wires; and lo, throughout his journey we're urged to notice telephone cables slipping by outside the train or bus window--lines of communication!--even as the siblings are warily m! onitoring Dad's progress by cell phone. Writer-director Kirk J! ones onc e made an ersatz-Irish movie, Waking Ned Devine (1997), that vulgarized ethnicity in the interests of cheap laughs and patronizing sentimentality. In Everybody's Fine Jones manages the neat trick of vulgarizing delicacy. The movie wants to pass for a sensitive meditation on the white lies people tell one another and themselves. But it so reeks of bad faith and calculation that the message isn't worth delivering. --Richard T. Jameson

JamesonOriginal soundtrack to the 2009 holiday film composed by Academy Award-winner David Marianelli. Everybody's Fine, a remake of Giuseppe Tornatore's Stanno Tutti Bene, follows a widower (Robert De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children (Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell) only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect. At the heart of Everybody's Fine is the theme of family and physical and emotional distances traveled to bring the members back together.John Schlesinger Award - Best Debut Feature Film Director - Honorable Mention - Palm Springs International Film Festival

As customers weave in and out of his upscale salon, only Xen (Rehaan Engineer) knows how much their cheerful outward chatter belies their inner turmoil, spitefulness and secrets. A talented hairstylist with an unusual gift, Xen can hear his clients’ inner thoughts as soon as he starts cutting their hair and instantly knows the truth about their often desperate lives. While Xen uses his telepathy to help his clients when he can, he is ironically unable to help himself in his lonely, solitary life - until the day sexy, lively Niki enters his world - and he learns that private agony can incite dark and deadly acts.
