Everything Must Go

  Will Ferrell offers his fans a change of pace as he takes on a rare dramatic role as a man struggling to hold his life together. Nick Halsey (Ferrell) was once a successful salesman with a happy marriage, but years of drinking are finally catching up with him, as he's fired from his job and his wife has decided she's had enough. Nick's wife has kicked him out of the house and moved all his possessions onto their front lawn; hoping retain a bit of dignity and maybe raise some cash as he plots his next move, Nick puts a yard sale sign on his stuff and tries to convince the neighbors (and the cops) that he's simply selling some junk he doesn't need anymore. As Nick makes believe he isn't homeless in between beers, he strikes up a friendship with a kid from the neighborhood (Christopher Jordan Wallace), tries to reconnect with a girl he loved in high school (Laura Dern), and bonds with his neighbor Samantha (Rebecca Hall), who is pregnant and struggling to get by while her husband is away on business. Based on a short story by Raymond Carver, Everything Must Go was the first feature film from director and screenwriter Dan Rush. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Read More

It's not that this is a bad movie; it's well put together and directed. But Everything Must Go so depressing it makes you feel miserable watching it. Not entertaining, unless you like watching people at their lowest for two hours.

Don't bother. I watch movies for a respite from what this movie depicts. I want to be entertained (or even educated) by a movie, not dropped into the depths of sorrow & depression. I kept hoping that something good would come about (it doesn't) The movie ending is just as depressing as the rest of the movie (which is to say 'very') There are a couple of (all too) brief moments that are interesting and even entertaining, but they're not enough to sit through this one. Thumbs down, even if you like Will Ferrell.

Life comes crashing down and in this case, it comes down hard. Will Ferrell does a great job portraying a character who needs to change but it's not a simple matter. Considering what things are like for many people right now it rings a scary truth.
