Format: DVD
A low budget ensemble film that deserves a wider audience. A character study of a Brooklyn Jewish owned restaurant (a neighborhood insitution for decades) that seems destined to be sold in the name of progress to shrewd developers whose plan to upscale a working class, on the decline neighborhood.

Employees and customers (many, regulars) must come to grips with personal family and societal issues that are all too real.

The acting is first rate, the script a winner with realistic dialogue.Caveat. The film has a "cheaper hand held camera feel" and a somewhat uneven music score but this is a solid piece of cinema that gives us the real tempo and beat of a Brooklyn the way life often is....full of hopes, dreams, racial and ethnic

diatribes, working class versus upscale mentality, the haves and the have nots and so much more.

I found this movie to be a bit off putting when I first saw it. So what is this movie about? I asked myself. The answer is a bit simpler than I usually expect and a bit more complex too. It is about a diner located in Brooklyn which is undergoing gentrification. The owners of the diner are expected to sell out to some corporate giants such as Banana Republic and Hard Rock Cafe. The area is run down and has been going down for a long time. The working class people who frequent the restaurant and work there are just on the cusp of poverty. Their lives aren't the greatest, but there is no promise that the area will allow them to better their lives. The diner is a symbol of some stability and safety. The script was written after several practices in repretory theatre. The acting is terrific and very enjoyable to watch. I found that the movie grew on me with repeated viewings. There is always another layer to uncover. A very nice movie and well worth a viewer's time.

I first saw Everyday People on HBO and thought it was another BeyondThe Horizon by O'Neil. The movie was shot in a famous restaurant I use to eat in which closed it's door before the film was made. I would like to see Everyday People on The Broadway stage as a play. Powerful movie about everyday people and the lose in their lives. Another play that come into my mind is The Ice Man Cometh, another O"Neil play. If you like O'Neil as I do, you should like Everyday People. Before closing, I should mention Wilder's Our Town which is another fine play of the same caliber.

I watched this movie last night 07-30-07 and found it to be very New York, the rating for it is way off and without a hint on the case I had no idea that the language would be so profane even when it was clearly not needed to get the actors point across. There is a scene where there is nudity again not mention in anyone reviews or on the case. Having said all that I did like the story which is really about life "any persons" life in any city where the tradition tried to fit in with the new and changing landscape of life. Would have gone 5 stars but the language and the stint of nudity dropped it by 1 star.

I saw this movie in bits and pieces when it originally aired on HBO and never quite saw the whole thing. It bugged me for years. Then I finally decided to find it. And I'm glad I did. Everyday People is a look into the lives of people trying to make it. The characters, portrayed by relatively unknown actors, are rich and interesting. I'm only sorry the piece is so short. Excellent little picture.

This is not your everyday movie. With a story to tell about the closing of a Brooklyn restaurant, it resembles a documentary in its structure - more a slice-of-life complexity of situations than the usual plot-driven story line with a beginning-middle-end in that order. Artistically the camera seems to catch the action on the fly, and instead of 2-3 central characters, there is a large ensemble, each person with his own particular conflict to resolve. Some scenes play out between people whose differences have you cheering first for one side and then the other. A mother, for instance, berates her poetry-writing daughter for not aspiring to a corporate job like she herself has. Each is right in her own way.

Set in a racially mixed Brooklyn neighborhood, the film also wants to open up the subject of race relations and racial identity. Not limited to differences between blacks and whites, it explores different points of view among its African-American characters. A business-suited professional carrying his cup of Starbucks objects to the assumptions of a man selling black ribbons on the street for young black males who are victims of prejudice. Later, each of them has his own unsettling encounter with some of those same young black males.

As the director and producer explain in the commentary, much of the content of the film was developed in workshops with the actors, and thus, like documentary, the final cut is the result of considerable editing. It would have been nice for the DVD to include another 30-45 minutes of these out-takes. A party of MTA workers is glimpsed in some scenes, for instance, and it would have been interesting to get their story.
