Watch Everything Must Go For Free

How sad is this?

Beautiful, moving film.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Everything Must Go is enjoyable, but flat. The plot is interesting at the beginning, but then it plateaus and it doesn't really build. Will Ferrell's acting is fine and it isn't an unpleasant movie, it just isn't anything special. I'm glad I saw it, but I'll probably never watch it again.

This is such an underrated film. First and foremost, Will Ferrell. I barely recognized the man! Such an impressive performance of a struggling alcoholic in the throes of the addiction. It was subtle in such a way that really made viewers see how difficult it can be, but not making it completely depressing. Supporting performances by Laura Dern, Rebecca Hall, Michael Peña, & young Christopher Wallace were likewise stellar. Several heartfelt moments that were surprisingly moving. I admit to feeling tears a couple times. I love watching things that turn out far better than expected! And I have a newfound respect for Will Ferrell.

After seeing her in the superb 2010 indie Comedy Drama Please Give,I started looking on Netflix UK for more Rebecca Hall titles. Losing track of his projects in the 2010's,I was pleased to find another 2010 Hall indie movie with Will Ferrell,which led to me letting everything else go,for a viewing.The plot:Going off the rails after a big business deal,Nick Halsey meets a girl who goes with him on a night out. Waking up,Halsey is horrified to find that the women has mysteriously disappeared. Unable to remember what he last did with her,Halsey is sacked from his job and dumped by his wife. Returning home,Halsey finds that his wife has changed the locks and left his things on the front lawn. Finding no pals willing to let him stay over, (and new neighbour Samantha looking across the road concerned) Halsey decides to start a new life,via living on the lawn.View on the film:Gingerly going over to see why a neighbour is living on the lawn,Rebecca Hall gives a brilliant performance as Samantha. Being on her own in the house,Hall holds Samantha with a strong independent side which pushes back Halsey's ignorant beliefs. Offering none of the bombast shown in his outrageous comedies, Will Ferrell gives an excellent,broken performance as Halsey. Limiting his comedic side to the odd facial expression, Ferrell takes Halsey down until he hits rock bottom,and the bitter arrogance transforms into rays of optimism as the sun sets.Expanding Raymond Carver's short story Why Don't You Dance?,the screenplay by debuting writer/director Dan Rush displays an extraordinary maturity in getting to the root of Halsey's low pitch. Making sure that everything must go with the usual path of Comedy Drama titles (no love interest!) Rush makes the sometimes abrasive friendship between Halsey and Samantha pinpointing the stage Halsey is at,in looking at his old life,and deciding that everything must go.

Had never heard or seen this. Just started watching the movie and so far I cannot see why many put this film down. I am finding the storyline relative to so many married couples and understanding. I appreciate the characters and actors involved. Michael Pena, Rebecca Hall and Christopher Wallace - to name a few - offer a sensible balance. I do adore Will Ferrell. Seeing him in this, I have no doubt about Will's acting abilities. Well done. Just cannot believe this film passed me by when it came out. I encourage the negative reviewers to not expect Ferrell to burst into a SNL skit and see it for what the film is about. Watching Will Ferrell camping out on his lawn after his wife up and kicks him out, sitting in his man chair, feasting on Chinese take-out, drinking Pabst New Ribbon, going to get jerky from the mini-mart is just all so priceless to see. Anyone who has been uprooted from their everyday life can sympathize in processing the shake up. To know how much of Ferrell's character is troubled is truly sad. He had a job, a wife, ...a life and it all came to a halt, even his bank account. Having the desire to sell what he can is truly recognizable.
