Please post more than just the title, say what it's about, how you like it, and if you would recommend it. And please use spoilers where appropriate. I'll start: The last Movie I saw was "Everybody's Fine". It was the first movie I've seen in about 6 years that actually brought a tear to my eye, and that was Ladder 49 to be exact. It starts out, with Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) planning a get together with all four of his kids, David, Rosie, Amy, and Robert Goode. They all end up cancelling on him.

He first goes to New York to see his son, David in New York City. He presses the buzzer for his son's apartment, . Next he went to see his daughter, Amy, in Chicago. she is surprised by his visits, and David says that he plans to stay for a day or too. She denies, saying that she has to drive to Springfield to pitch her idea, and her husband has to take a business trip to Europe. He giver her the envelope, and tells her not to open it until she leaves. David took off in the Morning, to go see his son, Robert, in Denver. Robert is a drummer in a symphony Orchestra. David comes during their rehearsal. Again, David plans on staying overnight, but Robert denies, saying that they are going on tour in Europe the next day, and they have to pack that night.

As he walks down a hall way, he sees a homeless man, laying on the ground coughing. David stops, and asks if he is alright, the man makes no eye contact with David. David asks if he needs money for food, the man says yes, and David gives him $20.00, and the man walks away. As the man walks away, David says "You could say Thank you, I just gave you money". The man comes back toward David, and said, "You know, you're right, and He finally arrives in Las Vegas, meets Rosie, and they go on with their talking. David decides to leave the next morning, by plane since he has no more medication. Before going thru security, he gives Rosie her envelope. The next scene shows him midflight in the plane. and asks the flight attendant how much longer the flight will be, and asks for a cup of water. She says 45 minutes but possibly longer because they will have to fly around the storm. David then rushes into the bathroom, , and he splashes water into his face. After a few miuntes, a flight attendant finally breaks open the door, to find David The next scene, shows his airplane parked at the gate, with stiars going up to the main exit, He then wakes up in a hospital room, he sees Rosie, Amy, and Robert. They say he had a . He asks where David is. The girls are in tears, and Robert finally reveals that David(The son) is .Finally David returns back to his home in Florida, going through all of the mail that has collected in his mailbox while he was gone.

All of his children had the exact same note and picture in their envelope. Finally it gets to Christmas, the whole family (excluding David the son) is finally together. David and Robert are hanging lights at the edges of the roof, while Rosie is throwing snowballs at Robert, and Amy is inside cooking. At dinner, that is where all the children reveal to their dad what they had been hiding: Rosie Robert and .Overall it was a very good and sad movie. As I said, it is the first movie in 6 years that really brought a tear to my eye, and I would highly recommend it.
