Everybody’s Fine is out on DVD today and even though Robert De Niro’s family didn’t want to come home to see him, you will want to see him in your home in this movie. Everybody’s Fine stars Robert De Niro as recently widowed and retired father of four, who is planning for all of his kids to come home to see him for the first time since his wife died, but when they all cancel on him he decides to surprise them by visiting them. Because of health issues, he decides to take trains and buses to see his four kids who live in four different cities throughout the country. De Niro was not that close to his kids played by Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell when they were growing up and as he visits them he learns things about them he never knew and why they cancelled on him. Seeing a man realize it is never too late to get to know your family and have them be a big part of your life will really inspire you to call at least one family member you haven’t spoken to in while and get to know them all over again! How many movies can say that. So why not own this movie so your family will get larger each time you watch it.
The DVD includes Paul McCartney’s Golden Globe nominated song (I Want To) Come Home as well as a behind the scenes featurette and deleted and extended scenes that were not included in the theatrical release. When it comes to the extended scenes there is one scene in the movie where DeNiro is talking to a 94 year old man and it was one of the most thought provking scenes in the movie and the extended scene will bring a smile to your face and it makes sense why the full scene couldn’t be in theatrical release. There is also an extended scene that will bring tears to your eyes more than what was seen in theaters and I already that scene was gut wrenching enough in the original release. Also the featurette for Paul McCartney’s (I Want To) Come Home is something fun and it was neat to see his process behind it!
So add Everybody’s Fine to your DVD collection today because it is a movie you will want to watch whenever you want your family back in your life!
