Everybody's Fine -- rental

I rented this movie last weekend and I couldn't even finish watching it. The previews made it seem like a comedy about a struggling family. In fact it was about a recently widowed father of four grown children. He invites all his children home for a "special announcement" and one by one they each cancel on him. So, then he goes to visit each of them and they pass him off on to the next sibling. I have never felt so sad or depressed for the character. I had to turn it off half way through as I hadn't laughed once but I was feeling more and more like I wanted to take a life.

If you are in the mood to be depressed and think about when your spouse dies and all your children forget about you, then yes, give this a go. If you are looking to continue happy in life, then I'd skip it. Especially if it's the last movie on Earth.

If someone disagrees, PLEASE let me know! I'm curious as to why they made this so depressing and I'm also curious how it ended. :)
