Chicago – Is there any cinematic prize less prestigious than the Heartland Truly Moving Picture Award? Most of the films honored by this group tend to be simple-minded, cloying and thoroughly manipulative. Any group that names “The Blind Side” as “the best film of 2009” seriously needs its head examined. The Heartland award emblem gracing the DVD box of “Everybody’s Fine” is sure to scare off serious fans of its legendary lead actor.

That’s a shame, since this film contains the best performance from Robert De Niro in many years. It’s honest, richly nuanced and utterly heartbreaking. He never strikes a false note, even as the film takes one phony baloney turn after another. He should get an award simply for leaving the film with his dignity intact. While De Niro conveys depths of emotion with the subtlest nuances, director Kirk Jones loudly declares where he intends the viewer...

A new poster has been released via Empire Online for Robert De Nero’s new movie, Everybody’s Fine. Directed by Kirk Jones, it has an all-star cast which includes, Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell, Kate Beckinsale and Lucian Maisel. We posted the trailer a few weeks back which you can check out here.

The movie centers around a widowed man who, realizing that his wife was his only real connection with his children sets off on a cross-country Greyhound busride from New York to Las Vegas to reunite with each of his children.

Everybody’s Fine is scheduled for release 19th February 2010.

Trailer looks good and interesting, what do you guys think?...

Today Miramax debuted an online trailer for family dramedy Everybody's Fine at Yahoo Movies. The flick stars Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell, and Lucian Maisel. De Niro plays a lonely widower who realizes that his only connection to his family was through his now-deceased wife, so he sets off on a road trip to reunite with each of his grown children.

It reminds us a little of Four Christmases, or maybe The Royal Tenenbaums.

Miramax has debuted the trailer for Kirk Jones' Everybody's Fine online today. The film stars Robert De Niro as well as Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell, and Lucian Maisel (as the youngest kid). Some people were already saying that De Niro has Oscar buzz for this, but after watching the trailer, I definitely don't think so. I don't know why but I'm just tired of these formulaic family dramedies, even if they're from a good filmmaker. This kind of reminds me of Four Christmases, which I did not like last year, but with a twist on the story (obviously). And I expect audiences will flock in droves to see this anyway.
