I used to just think that Everything Must Go was an album by Welsh band, the Manic Street Preachers.
It was in 1996, but now it is a film too. It stars comic maniac Will Ferrell.
The Internet Movie Database's description of the film reads:
"When an alcoholic relapses, causing him to lose his wife and his job, he holds a yard sale on his front lawn in an attempt to start over. A new neighbor might be the key to his return to form."
Ferrell is a hard working actor, who makes some duds but also graces the screen with hilarity. He was recently in the cluster turd, Land of the Lost, for example, but he reached levels of comic genius, in Zoolander, Old School, Step Brothers and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. He was also in my favourite Christmas film, Elf, and in the sweet drama, Stranger than Fiction.
Everything Must Go may be a bit similar to Kicking and Screaming, where he played a father trying to get in his family's good books again, by coaching his son at soccer.
That wasn't a great film, so hopefully Everything Must Go will be better.
What might add an extra quality to the film is a appearance by Christopher Jordan Wallace, son of rapper Biggie Smalls, who died about a year after Christopher John's birth, and Faith Evans.
Watch this space for a release date soon
