Review of Everything Must Go (2011) by Jaded1 — 23 Sep 2011
Wow ... the scores here are way off base for me. I'm trying to understand what was good about this movie? Did the critics like it because Will Ferrel is a serious actor (story still sucks and is depressing) or they like depressing crap that goes absolutely no where.
They should call this A Pathetic Drunk Lives On His Lawn. I can't feel sorry for Will Ferrel's character in this movie as he brings all the problems on himself. It's not that he is wronged by anyone really.
He's a drunk who loses it all and wallows in self-pity for 2 hours. I like movies that are either interesting or fun. This is neither. I'd rather have gone to work than sit through this waste of time.
Also when the critics say "Will Ferrell at his best!" that is code for he is NOT funny or trying to be. Like Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love ... blah ... don't get me started on that one.
Stay away from this if you like Will Ferrel as a comedy actor.
