Everyday People is a 2004 American drama television film written and directed by Jim McKay.

[1] The storyline revolves around the lives of the employees working at a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York City, which is to be closed down due to economic shortfall.

The owner of a neighborhood diner has decided to shut down his restaurant but, on the day of the deal, he reconsiders, realizing that people's lives depend on it.

Club wrote, "Though it lacks some of the New York naturalism of McKay's wonderful, little-seen Our Song, the ensemble drama still makes a quiet, passionate argument that places where patrons can ask for their regular spot are what make a neighborhood, whatever the allure of bright lights and brand names.

"[5] Reviewing for Variety, David Rooney finds the film to have a melancholy mood and notes the mix of characters and the interplay between them.
