"Everything Must Go" is a Great Indie Film

"Everything Must Go" is a great indie film. It has Nick Halsey, played by Will Ferrell, trying to cope with his alcoholism. After losing his job and wife he decides to have a yard sale to have a fresh start to his new life. He decides to sell everything, his belongings and all of the memories of his wife, and his past life. Trying to cope he still drinks, and sits on his lawn. He makes friends with a neighborhood kid,  Kenny, played by Christopher Jordan Wallace, who looks up to Nick regardless that he is a bum. He also makes friends with a pregnant woman across the street, Samantha, played by Rebecca Hall.  His friend, Frank, played by Michael Peña, who is a police office checks up on him. Nick tries to sort everything out anyway he can, because he is trying to fix his life because he realizes he has done wrong. 

This film actually has Will Ferrell in a dramatic role. He is not the best actor to be portrayed as a dramatic/comedic actor because he is well known for his hilarious roles including "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers" but he really tries in this film. He gives a decent performance as a serious actor and he succeeds in this film. Also, the supporting roles are very good in this film. This was Christopher Jordan Wallace's second film and he did a spectacular job for this film. Also, Rebecca Hall is a great actress. She has been in some amazing films including "Vicky Christina Barcelona" and "The Town" and she does a great job for this film. And Michael Peña is a fantastic actor mainly because of his role in "Crash" and he was a great asset for this film. This film is worth checking out, and Will Ferrell is pretty decent as a serious actor in this film.
