While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Casa de Mi Padre is, how do you say, more entertaining than I thought it was going to be. This telenovela parody pokes fun at number of different stereotypes, and manages to play it straight while still mocking the genre. It's an interesting experiment in comedy.

I really like Will, I even like him in Tim and Eric, but I just don't get this movie. I tried to give this movie a chance. However, the only "laugh" I had was in the beginning when the 3 were on their horses talking about a baby cow.Also, I like the cast... it is a really good cast.... but it is just not interesting.Will most likely made this to expand his fan base....And this also explains the high rating. This shouldn't have received 2/10 ...... my 3 out of 10 is way too high...Worst thing Will has ever been in...

Awful. Like all Will Ferrell movies. Really awful. I had hopes, given that Gael García Bernal is a very talented actor. Indeed the only reason I watched this was because of Bernal. I honestly hope this doesn't have a lasting negative impact on his career. It does, however, make me question his judgement. He's far too talented to have participate in another juvenile slapstick Will Ferrell waste of time. In this film, Ferrell manages to reduce the entire cast and crew to his level--that of a pile of stinking dog crap. Now let me be honest, the first half of this film was so very very bad that I simply couldn't stomach any more of it and turned it off. Thus it is possible that in the last half, Ferrell suddenly became an actual actor with a touch of talent, and the film magically turns around. But given Ferrell's track record or participating in films that aren't worth the plastic in the DVD, I have serious doubts.

Sending-up Latin American soap operas and romances, Will Ferrell plays a sweethearted by bumbling rancher down in Mexico whose family gets wrapped up in the drug trade with a powerful lord called El Onza. After an attack during a wedding, it's up to this unlikely hero to avenge his family's honour. Wackiness of a very certain type ensues....More of a niche comedy than broad ha-ha-fest, 'Casa de mi Padre' relishes in the melodrama and cheese of over-the-top Hispanic soaps. Yes, its story is rather slim, its dialogue woeful and its presentation oversaturated, but that's how a lot of these shows actually are, and for that, it's a fitting and joyous pastiche. It's all here: continuity errors, overblown music, redundant slow motion, tacky production values, overdramatic performances from Ferrell and co. (who all run with the material and are very straight faced amid the nonsense). If you know the ticks of these shows, it's all right here, and it's a real delight to see lampooned! Of course, these ties mean the film does limit its potential audience, as most not initiated will not find much outside of these jabs at the tropes, save for some slapstick. And also, though it is the point, the thinness of plot and characterization will wear out its welcome for some who need a meatier narrative with their comedy.However, not every film is designed for broad appeal, and for those who spent many an afternoon following these sorts of ludicrous and passionate love stories, 'Casa' should feel very familiar, and very rewarding. It's not a deep cross-examination of the genre, but it didn't need to be. If not, stick with Anchorman or Zoolander for Ferrell antics.
