Everything Must Go

After his wife changes the locks and puts all of his possessions on the front lawn and he loses his job all on the same day in this downbeat, well-acted, gritty, cameo-dotted (Michael Peña, Laura Dern, and Stephen Root) drama, which is based on the short story Why Don't You Dance, an alcoholic executive salesman (Will Ferrell) is befriended by a lonely, African-American kid (Christopher Jordan Wallace) and his new pregnant neighbor (Rebecca Hall) when he is forced to live on his front lawn, to sell all of his stuff, and to rethink his downward, spiraling life.
