Wissenswertes
Bradley Cooper put himself on tape to audition for a role as Robert De Niro's son (with his own mother playing the part of De Niro). He lost out to Sam Rockwell.

Patzer
When Frank takes the train from Chicago to Denver he passes some beautiful scenery, including various desert mesas as well as Glenwood Canyon, both things one would see when approaching Denver via Amtrak from the west, not the east.

Zitate
Young Man in Diner #1: I'm 94. I keep away from the doctors.
Frank Goode: Boy.
Young Man in Diner #1: I have three children, six grandchildren. They're busy. They're too busy to talk to me. I gotta make an appointment. They got lost some place. They don't need anybody. People changed, life is changed. Today, you shake hands with somebody, you gotta count your fingers to make sure you got five fingers back.

Crazy Credits
The photographs Frank took during his journey are shown alongside the end credits.

A Fine Drama

A widowed dad makes a trek across the country to visit his four adult kids in four different cities. They're all hiding something from him about themselves and about their brother David. Poor old Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) gets the same phony smile and fake candor from each of his kids and he knows it, but what can he say?

This movie resonates with me because I'm Frank Goode. I don't have four adult kids, but I have kids and a wife, and they all keep certain things from me. Maybe, just like Frank, I'm pushing them too hard so they spare me the failures and the screw ups, or maybe that's what mothers and children do.

"Everybody's Fine" is a slow, mild, and tender movie about a father trying to connect with his kids. Robert De Niro puts on his best boomer dad act by haggling over prices, showing pictures of his kids to strangers, and ignoring his doctor. "Everybody's Fine" is emotional without being emotionally draining. It's a fine drama suitable for any audience.
