Everything Must Go review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/26/12
Nick Halsey (Will Ferrel) an alcoholic who got laid off in his work and whose things are outside his house. Kenny (Christopher C.J. Wallace) becomes a partner in selling Nick's stuff and an amiable pregnant neighbor named Samantha (Rebecca Hall) converses with him. A somewhat depressing film about a man who loses everything and redeems himself with a couple of friends along the way. The soundtrack was decent and direction was alright. It was refreshing to see Ferrell in a serious role and the supporting cast was solid. Everything Must Go mixes drama with comedy, though it has less humor, is a good film to watch for people who are down, obsessed with drinking and would like to make a fresh start.
