    The only good thing about this film is seeing Carla Gugino, that's about it, boring story and no acting at all.

    Ned (Liev Schreiber) is in the throes of a mid-life crisis. His work as a writer on an outrageous, semi-pornographic TV show is less than satisfying. His fifteen year ... read moreold son has just told him he is g... read more read more...ay and his eleven year old is afraid of, well pretty much everything. When his wife, Jeannie (Helen Hunt), moves her sick and embittered father (Brian Dennehy) from Detroit into their home in NY, it puts added stress on an already strained marriage. And when a sexy female co-worker (Carla Gugino) puts the moves on Ned, the temptation sends him spiraling. Every Day is about one family's struggle to survive the unexpected curve-balls that are simply part of real life; aging and death; commitment and freedom; love and acceptance. It's an uncompromising look at an ordinary family making an extraordinary journey towards themselves and towards each other.

    I've been married for over 23 years and I'm not bored with my marriage yet. I enjoyed watching the woman interact with her dying father but the writing job scenes had me annoyed.

    Not a bad movie per se but it completely lacks of interest. I felt bored with the plot and even if they try to show an "ordinary" family with kind of "ordinary" problems, I just wasn't interested at all about their problems...

There are sharp moments throughout. Full Review

It's a recognizable situation that should be easy to sympathize with. Yet the movie makes it hard for most of us to recognize ourselves in this couple or sympathize with their struggles. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Real life isn't choreographed for maximum impact, it's messy and unpredictable. At its best, so is "Every Day." Full Review

Kyle Smith

Kyle Smith, New York Post

A 42-minute TV soap has more story than this limp and familiar tale of domestic woe. Full Review

Stephen Holden, New York Times

Very well written and acted, Every Day feels like a glorified television drama softened with comic and surreal trimmings, with a mildly upbeat ending appended. Full Review

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

What makes this intriguing, yet woefully uneven film so relatable is that there is nothing about Ned's experience that seems extreme. Full Review

It's hard to empathize with the family in the indie drama Every Day when each member is so sitcom-ready. Full Review

Melissa Anderson, Village Voice

What distinguishes Levine's film from, say, last year's similarly themed (and irredeemable) Happy Tears is his cast -- and not just reliable vets like Schreiber. Full Review

Rex Reed, New York Observer

Every Day is too relentlessly depressing to recommend to the everyday audience. It seems to be on automatic pilot. Horrible, sad things keep happening, but it just goes on. Full Review

Ace thesps struggle to lift this dour indie out of the doldrums, but writer-director Richard Levine allows them no breathing room. Full Review
