EVERYBODY’s FINE, starring ROBERT DE NIRO is a heartfelt account of the trials and tribulations of what it is to be a family; released to DVD 2 June 2010. 

Alone after the death of his wife and retired from his manual job in a wire factory, Frank Goode, played by the acclaimed ROBERT DE NIRO, comes to the realisation that he is not in any way connected to his children. But as they one-by-one cancel a weekend get-together at his home, he recognises that the problem is much deeper than just losing touch.  

Although advised by his doctor not to take any long trips due to his poor health, Frank decides that he will set out across America in a pilgrimage to surprise all of his children and find out for himself who they have become.

Frank’s first stop is New York City to spend time with his artist son David. But after sitting on his doorstep for some time the closest he gets to locating him is sighting his art work is on display at a nearby gallery.

Next is Amy, played by KATE BECKINSALE, a successful advertising consultant in Chicago. Almost immediately on Frank’s arrival, it is clear that tensions are high between Amy’s husband and son. Although successful, an embarrassing coldness has entered her life making it uncomfortable to have her father there.

Frank soon moves on to Denver to visit his musician son Robert, played by SAM ROCKWELL. Robert had claimed to be a conductor, but Frank soon discovers that he is in fact the percussionist. Robert quickly states that Frank’s arrival is at a bad time, and with a great deal of remorse, Frank catches a bus to Los Vegas to be with his youngest Rosie, played by DREW BARRYMORE.

In Vegas it is a similar story. Frank discovers with a heavy heart that Rosie has been hiding a good deal about her life from him. Although she agrees, like her siblings to be more open and honest with her dad, all remain cautious about revealing the truth, particularly their concern for David.

With the fate of David still weighing heavily on his mind, Frank is struck down with a heart attack as he heads home, and the family has to find the strength to be honest with themselves as well as their dad before his journey is over.

Based on the 1990 Italian film Stanno Tutti Bene, EVERYBODY’S FINE is written and directed by KIRK JONES, best known for writing and directing the English comedy hit Waking Ned Devine.

EVERYBODY’S FINE on DVD also includes special features; The Making of Paul McCartney’s ‘(I want to) Come Home’ and deleted and extended scenes.

In a remarkable and honest appraisal of modern family life, EVERYBODY’s FINE is not to be missed – available on DVD 2 June 2010.
