Everything Must Go ...Relatable
20 June 2014
Had never heard or seen this. Just started watching the movie and so far I cannot see why many put this film down. I am finding the storyline relative to so many married couples and understanding. I appreciate the characters and actors involved. Michael Pena, Rebecca Hall and Christopher Wallace - to name a few - offer a sensible balance. I do adore Will Ferrell. Seeing him in this, I have no doubt about Will's acting abilities. Well done. Just cannot believe this film passed me by when it came out. I encourage the negative reviewers to not expect Ferrell to burst into a SNL skit and see it for what the film is about. Watching Will Ferrell camping out on his lawn after his wife up and kicks him out, sitting in his man chair, feasting on Chinese take-out, drinking Pabst New Ribbon, going to get jerky from the mini-mart is just all so priceless to see. Anyone who has been uprooted from their everyday life can sympathize in processing the shake up. To know how much of Ferrell's character is troubled is truly sad. He had a job, a wife, ...a life and it all came to a halt, even his bank account. Having the desire to sell what he can is truly recognizable.
