Eight months after the death of his wife, Frank Goode looks forward to a reunion with his four adult children. When all of them cancel their visits at the last minute, Frank, against the advice of his doctor, sets out on a road trip to reconnect with his offspring. As he visits each one in turn, Frank finds that his children's lives are not quite as picture-perfect as they've made them out to be.

Biggest Swing

The dramatic drop from Rosie's honest conversation (8.2) to Frank's heart attack and David's death revelation (4.8), representing the film's shift from emotional breakthrough to devastating tragedy

The sentiment arc follows Frank's journey from hopeful reunion attempts through increasingly difficult family visits that reveal uncomfortable truths. The film peaks during Rosie's honest confrontation about Frank's parenting, then plummets with David's death revelation before recovering with a bittersweet but healing conclusion. Critics appreciated De Niro's performance and the film's emotional honesty while some found the ending overly sentimental.
