Cannes Film Festival 2013

Trailer Grades: 'Hangover 2,' 'Bridesmaids,' 'Larry Crowne'

Plus: 'Everything Must Go,' 'Greatest Movie Ever Sold,' 'Three Musketeers'

'Everything Must Go'

Lowdown: Will Ferrell is in serio-comic mode (see "Stranger Than Fiction") in Dan Rush's directorial debut based on the Raymond Carver short story. A middle age alcoholic loses his job and his wife and decides to sell off all of his possessions in an extended yardsale.

Grade:

 D+. This is the sort of trailer (and maybe film) that wants it all ways: Big name star, self-conscious quirkiness, uplifting music by a nameless indie rock band, prestige (Toronto Film Fest! Raymond Carver!) but really adds up to a bit fat "meh."
