Will Ferrell plays an alcoholic marketing exec who gets fired and thrown out of his house on the same day. All his stuff is on the front lawn and he has a couple of days so he camps out and starts selling thanks to a local kid played marvelously by C J Wallace. At the same time he develops a friendship with the new neighbor across the street (Rebecca Hall) whose husband has temporarily left her alone while pregnant.
A comedy-drama shot in Scottsdale and a bit of a box office bomb but mostly approved by critics. Ferrell and Wallace are great together. Michael Pena also stars as detective who is a friend and sponsor and is charged with making sure Ferrell is off the lawn within three days. A more than worthy indie, Everything Must Go currently streams on Netflix, History Vault and VOD. 3.0 stars/5
