Life doesn’t often go the way you planned, Everything’s Going to Be Great tells us.

Following the Smart family, for whom pipe dreams are just regular dreams, it’s a story about embracing who you are, even if life doesn’t exactly go as planned. When failed Broadway producer and patriarch Buddy (Bryan Cranston) receives a play production deal that could change everything, he immediately lights out to follow it. His son, Derrick (Jack Champion), just wants to play football. His other son, Les (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth), wants to conquer every stage. But when everything changes suddenly, both kids have to reevaluate who they are.

We were fortunate to be able to sit down with two of the film’s stars, Jack Champion and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth.

Please note that there are *spoilers* below.

ABOUT EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE GREAT

The Smart family is all about one thing: Theatre. Only, they’re not too great at it. When Buddy receives a deal that could lead to a more lucrative deal if things go right, he and his family must uproot and travel. In the midst of it all he remains optimistic to a fault. But when things suddenly change, Les and Derrick have to struggle to find who they are.

In addition, the film also stars Allison Janney, Simon Rex, and Chris Cooper.
