  Review by Dan Abel ★★★

  "Your mamas so fat, when she heard it was chilly outside she ran to get a bowl."

  Nick has busted his ass for the company, but in that same time he also became an alcoholic. When the company finally has enough of his exploits, they decide that the years of positive numbers and success are not enough to balance the liability he creates when he's on the sauce. Depressed, he goes home only to find his wife has left, changed the locks, and left all of his possessions on the front lawn. With nothing left to live for and nowhere to move his stuff he has to have a yard sale because he needs to be off his lawn in…

  Good to see Will Ferrel being in something different for a change.

  Easy breezy movie, with some polarizing melodrama. The vibe switched, then mellowed out again, with an abrupt conclusion. It’s the equivalent of a 6-piece chicken nugget meal: Small, lightly satisfying, nothing overwhelming. Kudos to Will Ferrell & Rebecca Hall, both did a stellar job in this.

  It kinda made me want a beer which I don't think was the point

  Honestly, a perfect 7 out of 10? It was good. Enjoyable, sweet, well-acted by Ferrell. But also, I'm not thinking about it anymore. Wouldn't recommend it as a standout to anyone, even though I think it a fine film. I love seeing comedic actors in dramas, though.

  ¨Do you know what the rate of success is for marriage when one person sobers up, but the other one doesn`t?¨

  Will Ferrell stars in this fantastic comedy slash drama, but this isn't the typical Ferrell comedy where we see him screaming all over the screen. This time he plays a quiet and sad alcoholic, and it`s perhaps one of his best performances to date. Everything Must Go was a really pleasant surprise for me; it reminded me a lot of 2008`s film The Visitor starring Richard Jenkins. Will Ferrell gives a very similar and quiet performance. Nothing really happens in the movie, but it`s the relationship between the characters that carries the film to a higher ground. This is…

  Review by Martyn Perry ★★★½

  Another "serious role" for Will Ferrell comes up trumps in this little movie which I really enjoyed. Whilst the high concept of Stranger than Fiction was fun, this is the other end of the spectrum, a bloke is made redundant on the same day he's kicked out of his own home, his company car is taken off him and his credit cards are blocked. Hopelessly a slave to beer, he's got nothing else to do but live on the lawn of his own home for a few days and figure out what his options are.

  That's it.

  Will drinks beer, strikes up a fun friendship with a local kid who relentlessly rides his bike, and tries to figure out just…

  Review by Connor Carey ★★★½ 3

  A solid little indie with a great Will Ferrell performance and a good heart at its core. It’s fairly light and occasionally struggles maintaining a consistent tone when it veers more into dramatic territory but this is still lightly funny, moving and well made. It’s not a must see by any means but it’s a pleasant watch and features one of Ferrell’s best performances to date. A real shame most of his dramatic stuff gets pretty overlooked. I know he’s going to get an Uncut Gems level role one of these days.

  Review by anna kendrick lamar ★★★½

  Although I enjoyed this well enough ten years ago, it's not something I ever expected to revisit. Seeing it again wasn't my decision, but I'm glad it happened. I remembered Everything Must Go as a twee, readymade-for-Sundance kind of affair, and while it certainly ticks a few of those boxes, it so rarely goes for quirky comedy or cliché payoffs that it winds up being a cut above. I imagine Raymond Carver's short story and Dan Rush's adaptation deserve equal credit for this, but the movie is disarmingly wise about the rhythms of alcoholism and how things both remembered and forgotten can add up to a fiasco without one realizing it until long after damage is done. Ferrell is fantastic…

  Review by Zach Jones ★★★

  Interesting dialogue driven movie from Will Ferrell. It has an important message and is portrayed in a very realistic way. Not much is going on and it’s a very low key movie, but it was still a decent character journey.

  Review by eternalsunshin3 ★★★½

  "How much have you had to drink?

  "Uhh..in my opinion, not enough."

  Tender, endearing and well... sad, Will Ferrell gives an excellent performance in this realistic portrayal of depression, the feeling of hopelessness and alcoholism. (Also who doesn't just adore Biggies son in this???)
  To be honest, its kind of depressing to know there are actually people in the world who will ghost you and toss your shit out on the lawn and forget you ever even existed at the drop of a hat. I actually really enjoyed this and, as I usually mention when I see literally any film with Laura Dern in it.. ALL HAIL QUEEN DERN.

  It is a little predictable, but I dont think that contributes any bad things about it, really as I thought it was still quite enjoyable and the chemistry between Ferrell and C.J Wallace provides a really nice balance in the film that is pretty delightful.
