Plot:
Frank Goode is getting ready for his children to come visit him. He gets everything all set, goes out and buys a new grill, expensive champagne, and gets the backyard and house all ready. One by one though, each of his children call to cancel on him. Feeling a bit down by the rejections, Frank decides to head out on a small trip, visiting each of his kids.After visiting his physician and being warned about his health, Frank (Robert De Niro) takes a train to New York City, where he sits on his son David’s doorstep. David never shows up, but Frank sees one of David’s paintings in a nearby art gallery window. He slips an envelope under David’s door telling him how he wanted to surprise him but missed out.Next visit is to daughter Amy (Kate Beckinsale), who says it’s a bad time to visit. She had mentioned in her phone call that her son Jack was sick and they weren’t going to make the visit. Once he gets there, Frank realizes Jack wasn’t sick and Amy was just making up an excuse. Frank plays a little golf with grandson Jack, but dinner is uncomfortable with tension between Jack and his father. The next morning, Frank accompanies Amy to her fancy office and hears her agency’s pitch for a TV ad. She takes him to the bus station to visit his son Robert. While waiting, Amy meets up with a co-worker of her’s, having him and her father meet.As Frank travels to each of his children’s homes, the film cuts to phone conversations between the siblings. David is in some type of trouble in Mexico, and Amy is going there to find out what is happening; the sisters and Robert (Sam Rockwell) agree to not tell their father about David until they know for sure.Frank arrives in Denver expecting to see Robert conduct the orchestra. It turns out Robert is "only" a percussionist. He also says Frank’s visit is at a bad time, so within hours Frank takes a bus to Las Vegas to visit Rosie (Drew Barrymore). Frank is adamant that each visit is a surprise, but Robert calls Rosie to warn her.Frank is attacked by a mugger who destroys Frank’s prescription pills. Frank manages to escape and scrapes up some of the crushed pills, but when he calls the doctor back home for a prescription refill, he doesn’t tell the doctor that he is hundreds of miles from home, traveling against doctor’s advice. He has a dream that his son David is in jail.Frank arrives in Las Vegas late. Rosie picks him up in a stretch limo and tells him she was in a big show that just ended the previous week. She takes him to her fancy apartment, where her friend Jilly (Katherine Moenning) brings over her baby for last-minute babysitting because she needs to pick up her husband from the airport. Frank overhears a message being left on an answering machine, indicating the apartment is borrowed from Rosie’s friend. During dinner, Frank asks Rosie about why nobody ever talked to him and told him things, but they told their mother everything. He is not comfortable, knowing all his kids are lying to him.Frank flies back home but — without his pills — he has a heart attack in the lavatory. Frank has another dream of his kids as young children; in the dream, everyone’s sitting at the table outside. Although his kids are all young again, they’re discussing all of their problems as adults. He knows Amy’s husband has left for another woman and that’s why Jack was so tense around him. It’s revealed that Jilli’s baby is actually Rosie’s baby (their mother knew about it, but never mentioned it to their father), and that Rosie has been questioning her sexuality. David tells his dad that he can’t tell him where he’s at and starts laughing. The kids and their mother always kept the unpleasant truth from Frank. While Frank thought he was encouraging his kids, they thought he was pressuring them and would be disappointed in how their lives really turned out. He ends up having the heart attack while this dream is occurring. Next scene is in the hospital, where he wakes up in bed with Amy, Robert, and Rosie standing there. Frank tells them that he knows something’s wrong with David and he wants to know what’s going on. All three children start crying and it’s revealed that David has died from a drug overdose. During the night, Frank has a vision about a young David being in his hospital room. He tells him how he was never disappointed in him and he never would be as David grew up.Frank goes back to New York to the Art Gallery below David’s apartment to buy David’s painting but it has already been sold. The girl at the desk tells him that if any of David’s art comes through, she’d let him know. After leaving, she runs out to tell Frank about how great his son was, after realizing the family connection. She shows him another painting by David that is more appropriate to him — a landscape showing PVC-covered power lines made out of glue and macaroni (Frank made PVC-covered cable for years). Frank then visits his wife’s grave and talks to her. He tells her all about the kids and how they’re all doing fine. The last scene shows the family at Christmas. Frank is cooking the turkey and remembers that he always forgot to tell his wife hers was overcooked. All three children are around the house helping cook and decorate the tree. It’s also revealed that Rosie and Jilly are a couple and are raising the baby together. The film ends with Frank walking into the dining room, to his family, and a screenshot of everyone sitting at the table together.

Much as I dislike the word “dramedy”— it sounds like a breed of camel— nothing else describes Kirk Jones’ Everybody’s Fine quite so well. It doesn’t feel like a comedy with drama or a drama with comedy. It feels like some fake hybrid, a phony construction—probably because that’s what it is. As comedy, it’s never very funny (and that’s being kind). As drama, it’s never particularly effective. It’s more like some clockwork mechanism where a section has been cut away so that we can see the gears move. That might be briefly interesting, but not for 100 minutes. (Was it really only 100 minutes long?)

Though marketed as a Christmas movie on the theory that at this time of year you can peddle the most egregious twaddle to the multiplexers if you make it seasonal (think of last year’s Four Christmases), Everybody’s Fine is only marginally related to the yuletide. It’s just a dysfunctional family-story/road-trip movie strung together with wire (literally) that winds up at Christmas during the last few minutes of the movie. The premise is that Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) is a recent widower with some vaguely explained, plot-centric respiratory condition, who decides—against his doctor’s advice, of course—to drop in on his four children unannounced when they all suddenly “can’t” come to his planned family reunion.

This allows the film not only to move from upstate New York to New York City to Chicago to Denver to Las Vegas, but it allows Frank to have (very) little adventures along the way and meet up with quirky, wise or dangerous sorts in the bargain. This means Frank gets to offer us expository dialogue by explaining how a life of coating telephone cable with PVC paid for his children’s educations—and somehow gave him his mystery ailment. Unfortunately, this also sets up a recurring motif where the camera gazes at phone lines and poles while we get to listen to Frank’s children discuss Dad’s visit and explore the mystery of their errant brother who has gone missing south of the border down in Mexico. It was perhaps more economical to tack on an extra day of voice work, but it feels more like a dubious stylistic decision.

It becomes obvious early on that Everybody’s Fine isn’t going to run the risk of surprising the viewer at any point. Frank will find that all is not well with his children. Their successes are a fiction maintained not to upset him. Amy (Kate Beckinsale) has a marriage gone bad, symphony conductor Robert (Sam Rockwell) isn’t really a conductor, and Vegas dancer Rosie (Drew Barrymore) has four or five closets full of skeletons. Once you realize—if the trailer hadn’t tipped you off already—where all this has to go, watching the movie becomes a matter of marking time to get to the warmly desired closing credits—complete with über-twee Paul McCartney’s (please stop this, you’ve got your knighthood) ending song.

The results aren’t so much painful as painfully perfunctory. I was almost mesmerized by how brazenly writer-director Kirk Jones telegraphed the film’s every move. The only exception is the jaw-droppingly bad fantasy sequence (or sick-bed delirium) late in the film where Frank talks to his adult children in their child-like forms around a picnic table. (Think the schoolchildren in Annie Hall minus intentional laughs.) Even that nonsense was hinted at by Frank’s tendency to envision his children as he remembers them from their childhood. I think it was intended to be terribly moving, but it failed.

The acting is all over the place. Kate Beckinsale is her usual indistinct self. Drew Barrymore gets by on her innate ability to make the audience like her by appearing more sincere than the material warrants. Sam Rockwell comes off best, and I suspect this is the result of Jones tapping into the actor’s sweet-faced innocence and using it to good advantage. What of De Niro? Well, I’ve seen his performance called “restrained” and “minimalist,” which in this case feels like a nice way of saying he sleepwalks through the role. OK, so it’s not as embarrassing as Al Pacino’s performance in 88 Minutes (2008), but neither is it as entertaining.
