After seeing Everybody's Fine, Paul McCartney offered to write a song that plays over the closing credits. That may be because the whole movie is like a celluloid McCartney tune: warm and playful and sweetly earnest, but lightly funny, too, and crafted with consummate skill.

Now comes this American version, which turns out to be the exception, an American remake that's better than the European original.

All that could redeem this thoroughly foreseeable unfolding would be colorful characters and good acting. Everybody's Fine comes close, but not close enough.

De Niro, trying his ordinary-guy best not to be mannered, gives one of his most mannered performances.

Follows a dispiritingly predictable arc.

Everybody’s Fine – a movie about the lies grown children tell their parents – is, ironically, one of the most disingenuous movies to come out of Hollywood in a while.

The queasiness produced by this sentimental weepie builds into a wave of nausea during its interminable finale.
