Truly Dreadful Film

Excellent but underrated film

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

watching this film could be only be impossible if it was wasn't Raymond carver's story and will Farrell and Rebbecca hall acting involved in it, but somehow it was and so i watched it and realized my own such conditions i have been through as will's character. this story is as real and blunt as life is when real and tough things spit onto your face. but what i took away was that you need to deal it anyway because at the end you cant run much far since you will get tired soon enough to restore running. the simplicity and minimalism of this tale and acting combined with make you love and cry at same time. so, if you are looking for something that works like this film did, go have a watch wouldn't come out of disappointments, just a much more intelligence about such a life of life.

"Everything Must Go" is a comedy - drama movie which shows us a man who after being fired from his job due to his alcoholic relapses and losing his wife, trying to start over. A new neighbor looks like the key to help him go on with his life.I believe that Will Ferrell makes one of his best not to tell the best interpretation of his life. I really liked it because makes it truly understandable for everyone how he feels about all of these, his agony and depression.Finally I have to say that "Everything Must Go" is a really worth seeing movie and I strongly recommend it because as I said before it combines drama with comedy.

'Everything Must Go' will never be a commercial success. At best, it's going to be one of those films that will find its market several years from when it was first released.For a start, it has Will Ferrell as the leading man - an actor constantly linked with madcap, silly throwaway comedies. Secondly, and if you've seen the trailer you'll know what I mean, it's sold as a 'comedy.' It's not. It's a melodrama. And, possibly worse still, it's very sad.Will Ferrell plays Nick Halsey - an alcoholic who, on the same day, gets fired and finds out his wife is leaving him by returning home to find she has thrown all his possessions out onto the front lawn. And that's that really. There's not much of a plot/story to it. Another thing you should know is that the film doesn't really move from there - the whole ninety minutes is spent on Ferrell's front/rear lawn (and a lot of people seem to have critisised it for this).What little story there is, centres on themes rather than moving the script along. It deals with loss and hope. If you've ever been made redundant, you may well empathise with Ferrell who has to endure the feeling of being thrown on the scrapheap just when you really didn't need it. He accurately portrays a real sense of emptiness, confused hostility to people who, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't treat like that. Plus the hope that his wife may come back. He doesn't know what's what and is in the dark.If you're looking for a deeper (laugh-free!) movie, you may get something out of this. However, if you're expecting some sort of 'Anchorman II' laugh-a-minute flick, you may feel slightly cheated.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Will Ferrell plays Nick Halsey in Everything Must Go, a mostly dramatic tale of a man who loses everything in one day. Writer/director Dan Rush has made a fascinating film that is too good to pass up.Nick Halsey (Will Ferrell) is fired from his job of 16 years. He goes back home, only to discover that his wife has left him. Devastated, he takes up drinking again, even though he is a recovered alcoholic. He decides to sell his belongings, and move on in his life. Michael Pena, Christopher Wallace, Jr. (son of the Notorious B.I.G.), Stephen Root, Laura Dern, Chris Howerton, and Rebecca Hall are all fantastic. The second best film of 2011, and one of the best of this decade (so far).
