Everything Must Go falls into the Indie comedy category, throwing Will Ferrell into the mix, playing a 40 year old guy just fired from his corporate job. He got payed very well, and has a lot of cash in his bank account. That is until he finds out his wife locked it, denying anymore transactions to come through. On top of that, all the locks to his home have been changed, including the garage. Sh... read more
A fairly decent drama starring Will Ferrell as a man who loses everything in one day, and how he deals with it, accepts it, and moves on. Nothing overly special, or memorable once it's over, but definitely a solid film worth a watch. It's got a good story, a good cast, and was also, amongst the sadness of the man's life, entertaining in the right places.
Description:Everything Must Go is a dramatic and deeply moving character study of a man (played by the brilliant Will Ferrell) who has literally thrown his entire life away because of his addiction to alcohol.

Prediction: $10-20mil.
Actual: $2,711,643.

I think that Will Ferrell is one of those comedic actors that can pull of these kind of roles. Even though I actually like his comedy movies, I really t"

This is one of those simple little movies that hit me in just the right way. All the performances are excellent & believable, with each actor/actress successfully disappearing into his/her respective role. Will Ferrell has always shown signs of his ability to act beyond his usual silly roles (well, always so far as I've watched him anyway...by the time he joined SNL I'd long since quit watching so I can't speak to those days), and he does a tremendous job here pl"
