Everything Must Go

[Edgy MD]

Big shot corporate vice president of sales (Will Ferrell) gets himself in trouble with his drinking and gets fired, then comes home to find that his wife has locked him out and put all his stuff out on the front lawn. He plops himself in the easy chair parked in the middle of the lawn and goes on the PBR binge to end all PBR binges, pretending he's having a yard sale, but really just sitting there and drinking for like a week.

I mean, some small stuff happens and he meets a few people, but that's pretty much the elevator pitch.

i found it disappointing. I love STRANGER THAN FICTION and was looking forward to another Farrell drama but its really not that interesting.

Loved the Raymond Carver story it was based on which meant that I had no interest in seeing the movie.

I haven't read the story, but I enjoyed the film. One issue was that although he's hammering the Pabst, he generally only gets himself half drunk through most of the film. He's surly and says inappropriate stuff, but his balance and speech don't betray him.
