Just ‘Go’

Like his more subtle turns in Winter Passing and Stranger than Fiction, funnyman Will Ferrell turned down his considerable cheese meter last spring for Everything Must Go, a heartwarming comedy available now on DVD. As a relapsing alcoholic, Ferrell’s downtrodden protagonist decides to hold an extensive yard sale in a desperate attempt to both figuratively and literally start over. As visitors take his old furniture and junk off his hands, a young neighbor could be the unexpected key to really helping him get his life back together enough to move on. Laura Dern, Rebecca Hall and Stephen Root co-star.
