‘Everything’s Going To Be Great’ Review: Bryan Cranston And Allison Janney Lead Game Cast In Uneven Dramedy About A Family Whose Lives Aren’t In Sync

A review of 'Everything's Going To Be Great' with Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney taking their family on the road and working in regional theatre.

Rogers has written scripts for a number of studio star-driven vehicles like Hope Floats for Sandra Bullock, Stepmom with Julia Roberts, Kate & Leopold starring Hugh Jackman and more but his real claim to fame is the terrific I, Tonya(for which Janney won a supporting actress Oscar) with Margot Robbie. That would give promise that this offbeat premise might have some bite to it, but charming as some of it is thanks to a terrific and game cast doing their best to bring it to life, the episodic nature and abrupt changes of tone don’t always work, certainly not for other films in this family zone like Little Miss Sunshine and Captain Fantastic which showed how it should be done. Cast: Allison Janney, Bryan Cranston, Chris Cooper, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Jack Champion, Simon Rex, Laura Benanti, Cady Huffman, Jessica Clement, Mark Caven, Chuck Reid
