Will Ferrell shows off his serious side in the trailer (above) for Everything Must Go, an indie flick in which the SNL actor plays Nick Halsey, a relapsed alcoholic. In a single day, Halsey loses his wife and his job -- hence the title.

Ferrell has proved that he’s leading man material in plenty of flicks, and he won critical acclaim for his toned-down, dramatic performance in Stranger Than Fiction (2006). Everything Must Go comes to theaters in May.
