EVERTHING'S FINE

Everybody's Fine - We just finished watching this movie starring Robert De Niro as a recent widower who looks forward to his grown children coming home from different parts of the country for a family weekend. When they all cancel, he decides to travel around the country to surprise them with visits. As the travelling widower dad, he's the strong silent sort of friendly type, but in the few flashbacks we see, we find that he'd been a rather overbearing yet loving dad to his creative children. They were always more comfortable talking to their mom who would report to dad that "everybody's fine". It's a pretty good movie. I'm enjoying these tough guy actors in the aging everyman roles.
