Gentle understatement that stealthily but surely gets under the skin and touches the heart.

Everything Must Go is a pleasantly engaging, entertaining human portrait - a journey that doesn't physically stray very far, but which treads a million metaphorical miles within its main character as he attempts to go from broken man to redeemed man.

Has a similar problem to its protagonist: It just sort of sits there.

Rush draws on the intense attachment we can feel for the mundane objects in our lives. For Nick, these things are talismans from a past that promised a lot more than it delivered.

A gratifying story with a quietly powerful performance from funnyman Will Ferrell.

In the end, Everything Must Go is something of a consciously static study in sadness, both well-made and wearying.

I was not waiting for a punch line. I was not primed to laugh. I accepted Ferrell as Nick and, because of that, I was able to enjoy Everything Must Go on its own terms.

Good performances by Ferrell and Wallace and fantastic cinematography make Everything Must Go an enjoyable watch.

This isn't Ferrell's first dramatic role; he played seriocomic leading men in Stranger Than Fiction and Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda. But it's the first one that provides a glimpse at his possible future as a Bill Murray-style character actor.

Taking stock and letting go -- of superfluous things, of worn-out love -- is a strong theme. But the progression of the script is like Nick's self-help program. We're familiar with the steps.

The unlikely combination of Will Ferrell and author Raymond Carver pays off beautifully.
