This 2010 release stars Will Ferrell as Nick, a boozing sales executive who is having a very bad day. He loses his job and his wife locks him out and leaves him in the course of one work day. Nick comes home to find himself not just locked out, but all his stuff is on his front lawn. So, on the advice of his AA sponsor who is also a cop, Nick holds a yard sale to buy time while he takes up residence on his lawn. Running time is 97 minutes. Rated "R" for language and some violence.
This was labeled a comedy, although it's more serious than funny.
As I wrote above, Nick comes home to find himself locked out of his house; his wife had the locks changed. That is prohibited in every state, especially during a divorce process. One spouse can not lock the other out of the marital residence, either a rental or owned property.
The movie is set in the time it was made; the late 2000's. A New York Statue Of Liberty license plate is seen on one car. New York discontinued the Liberty plates in January 2001.

I don't know what model year the car with the plate is. (I'll be more observant if I watch the movie again. ) However, Nick's cop friend/AA sponsor drives a sixth generation Dodge Charger. Which was built from 2006-10.
I'll be more observant if I watch the movie again.
The pic is on HD Net Movies as I write this. (One of the advantages of being retired; you can watch movies instead of going to a job. ) The car with the Liberty plate is a Subaru Outback. A 2010 model, I believe.
