I was amazed when I saw the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Not only was it funny, and not only did it have an amusing story, but it featured something I never thought I would see in a movie. Will Ferrell. ACTING. Not only that, but acting well! For the first time ever I actually cared about a character Will Ferrell played. And now the rumor has it that Ferrell will be giving this type of acting another shot in his upcoming film Everything Must Go. It has a simple enough story. A man is thrown out by his wife, along with all of his possessions, and he must now sell them all in a yard sale in order to get somewhere. While this could also take the usual slapstick approach for Ferrell, many think that this story could yield a more straight faced approach. This could very well be the thing that Ferrell’s career needs, after some of his recent movies, such as Semi-Pro and Land of the Lost, did not fare very well at the box office. If his acting ability in Stranger Than Fiction is any indication, then we could see some good things come about.
If you haven’t seen Stranger Than Fiction, but would like to see real proof that Ferrell can act, then pick it up here! Remember, it’s everyone who buys from here that keeps this site going!
