    It's not that this is a bad movie; it's well put together and directed. But Everything Must Go so depressing it makes you feel miserable watching it. Not entertaining, unless you like watching people at their lowest for two hours.

    Life comes crashing down and in this case, it comes down hard. Will Ferrell does a great job portraying a character who needs to change but it's not a simple matter. Considering what things are like for many people right now it rings a scary truth.

    I liked the movie except for the ending. They didn't wrap it up to make you feel better that everything works out ok. It just goes to show you that most people are just pretending to be happy and can not face the truth of real life. I guess their point is that is how everyone gets by from day to day. The friendship with the boy in the movie was a great feel good part of the story.
