Watched this on YouTube Movies a couple of days ago, and honestly, it stuck with me. Not what I expected from a Will Ferrell movie at all.

So the setup is pretty straightforward -- guy loses his job, comes home, and his wife has locked him out and thrown all his stuff on the front lawn. Instead of finding somewhere else to go, he just decides to live there. On his lawn. With all his belongings scattered around. He's drinking beer after beer and basically says screw it, this is my life now.

I thought it would be depressing as hell, and it kind of is, but not in an over-the-top way. Ferrell plays this alcoholic salesman who's just completely burnt out. No yelling, no big dramatic scenes. He's just tired. That's what got me -- how real it felt. You've probably seen people like this, or maybe you've had moments where you're just done with everything. That's Nick.

The best part is his friendship with Kenny, this kid from the neighborhood. The kid's mom is never around, so he just rides his bike everywhere, and he ends up helping Nick with a yard sale. Their conversations feel genuine. Kenny isn't some annoying kid character, and Nick doesn't treat him like one.

What I liked is that we never see the wife. We don't need to. We get the picture from context, and that's enough. Same with the neighbor lady across the street. The movie trusts you to fill in the blanks.

What really works here is how the movie shows grief and coping without being preachy about it. Nick's literally living in denial -- camping out on his lawn because accepting that his life fell apart means actually dealing with it. The yard sale isn't just about getting rid of stuff, it's him slowly letting go of who he used to be. You see him go through all these stages - anger at his situation, bargaining with his AA sponsor for more time, sitting in his depression surrounded by beer cans.

The ending though? Bit weak. It wraps up okay but I wanted more punch after everything. Not a deal-breaker, just left me wanting something heavier.

If you're in the mood for something that feels human and messy, give it a shot. Ferrell's really good in it, and it's only 90 minutes.
