| ScreenIt C. Fuchs While some may view this as Ferrell's attempt to follow in the footsteps of other comedic actors (Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, etc.) who've tried to broaden their cinematic horizons and demonstrate their thespian range, the actor never feels like he's forcing it with the material here. Although it's not the sort of work that will blow anyone away or earn any award nominations, it's a solid effort. | 11 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It may not improve on the Raymond Carver short story that inspired it, but Everything Must Go resists cliche and boasts a pair of magnetic performances from the perfectly cast Ferrell and Wallace. | 15 |  |
