Everything Must Go (2011)

You know you're in for it when you reject a movie's premise before your ass warms th couch cushion. Here's what we get: everyone's former favorite funnyman, Will Ferrell, gets canned from his job (by Always Sunny's Glenn Howerton!), then goes home to find all of his possessions on his front lawn and a note from his wife (who we never see) saying she's gone. So, the whole world's against this schlub--right up my alley, right? Then this happens: he decides to just live on his front lawn. He does not choose to try to get into his locked house. He also fails to live in his backyard. The cops tell him he can't live on his front lawn (though not, surprisingly, that he's a moron), so he pretends to have a yard sale, becomes friends with some fat kid, and creeps out poor Rebecca Hall across the street. There's more, but it all seems contrived just to keep him on the front lawn...where he never had to be from the start. And then, I don't know, figures it all out at the end. He's also a degenerate alcoholic and generally unlikeable and I really couldn't care what happened to him by the end. MINUS
