Everybody's Fine.

Watched this movie a couple of days back and ...loved it. It's sort of a bittersweet story, and I can tell you, if you're the kind who love movies with happy endings or those romantic movies...this is not one for you.

But this is a movie for you to watch, that can change your life, whether you like it or not.

It's about a dad, who brought up his kids with discipline and going after their dreams. His kids are now all grown up and he is trying to get them all round the same table again. But fails, because everyone is just so busy with their lives. The mum, who just passed away 6 months ago, was really close with the children, but after she passed away, no one shares things with the old man. So eventhough he's sick and he's not suppose to leave home, he packs his suitcase and leave to find his kids..A son in New York, a daughter in vegas..as you can see, all far apart.

These children, they tell their dad things he wants to hear. Tell the good news, spare the bad. Which is sorta sad. Like, the dad doesn't know his eldest daughter is actually separated from her husband cause he cheated on her, and she has a new man in his life. And her son, is doing bad in school, in contrast to what she told her dad, about him being at the top in his class. His second son, whom the dad thought was a conductor in an ochestra, is actually just playing the big drum..and is living by his pay day by day. His third daughter told the dad that she's a famous dancer is las vegas, but she's actually a waitress. Also, she's pregnant..and is a lesbian. His last son..is in the hospital in mexico..for drug overdose.

It's a touching story about..well, I don't know about what really. I was so into the movie that I didn't bother thinking about the moral values and such. But I think the main idea is about appreciation, and not taking the one you love for granted. It made me cry, from the very beginning.

This is one movie EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH.
Seriously.
No lie.

Robert De Niro did an awesome job! Go watch the trailer..and don't be fooled by their upbeat happy mood, the movie is quite the opposite.. but it's good.
Rating : *****

I think this movie made the list of my TOP FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME.
