Everything Must Go (2010)
In this comedy-drama based on the Raymond Carver short story Why Don’t You Dance?, Will Ferrell stars as a salesman named Nick, whose alcoholism leads to him losing his job. His life continued on a dark path from there; that’s the personification of rock bottom. His wife leaves him, and he has been locked out of the house, his belongings strewn all over the lawn. He can’t access the joint bank accounts. His car is repossessed, and his phone service is cut. With nowhere to turn, Nick tries to piece his life together with the help of new friends, selling off his belongings to get back on track.
While Everything Must Go isn’t one of Ferrell’s best-known or funniest movies, it’s worth checking out for those who are fans of his work. It’s a more subdued performance that tugs at heartstrings while delivering hearty laughs, too.
