Will Ferrell in a really wholesome drama. Never thought I would type those words.
Will Ferrells character loses his job of 30 years where he’s a top salesman and loses his wife to divorce on the same day. He comes home to ALL his stuff on the lawn with all the locks changed. His wife will not answer the phone. He has no money to any of the bank accounts and also loses his car as it was the companies.
Wills character also is a recovering alcoholic. This obviously sends him into a relapse. He spends the next couple days on his front lawn, literally drinking and living on his front lawn. Out of all options and no idea what to do.
Michael Pena and Rebecca Hall make appearances as well in this movie. Pena being Ferrells sponsor and Hall new neighbor. The movie is basically a 6 day bender of a man trying to accept his new reality and what he will do next that ends up being a really wholesome and touching film. It also includes a little plot twist that just adds some spice.
I really enjoyed this film. I think it is a REALLY GOOD MOVIE. I would rewatch this movie. I also really like Ferrell in this role. He was great in it, maybe his best acting job. That is a review.
