I had seen bits and parts of the movie before when my sister watched the movie a year or two ago. The first bit that I definitely remembered seeing was about halfway into the movie, when Nick meets up with an old high school classmate.

While some parts of the movie were slightly confusing, the confusion did not deter from my overall viewing experience and I definitely enjoyed the movie. As a whole, the film felt a bit more serious than Stranger Than Fiction (2009), the only other movie (as of 20131023) where Ferrell has a serious role. While I like the story in this film less than that of Stranger Than Fiction, I enjoyed Ferrell's performance equally in both films.

I look forward to seeing Ferrell in more serious films and also seeing him in more serious roles. In the meantime, I would recommend viewers watch either Everything Must Go or Stranger Than Fiction.
