Product Description
From the makers of Anchorman and the writers of the American TV show Saturday Night Live comes Casa de mi Padre, the new hilarious comedy with Will Ferrell.
Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell - Anchorman) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna – Y Tu Mamá También), shows up with his new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez – Man on a Ledge). It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael García Bernal – Babel).
“This comedy's smothered in hot sauce - it's funny and fiery!”(Now).
“A gloriously goofy pastiche...Will Ferrell is wonderfully wacky. Grindhouse meets Telenovela in this lovingly loopy comedy” (Sunday Mirror).
"Mexican Western mayhem! Ferrell brings the gunshow!" (Nuts)
Bonus Content
-Making of
-Pedro Armendáriz Jr. Interview
-Deleted Scenes
-“Fight for Love” Music Video
-Fake TV ads: Champion 100s Cigarettes / Scorpion Beer / Suave Leopardo Cigarettes

I'm a big Will Ferrell fan but in no means do i compare this to his other films as it's completely different. Casa De Mi Padre is a spoof of telenovelas and classic Mexican westerns and is not supposed to be taken seriously. Great film but I would say avoid if you don't like subtitled films.

First the disclaimer: I love Will Farrell films. I hate the scenes that have Will Farrell in them.
This movie is a spoof of Mexican films. It involves drug dealers, ranchers, and a girl. The plot is immaterial. The fun aspect of the film is the fake sets, fake animals, fake special effects, bad editing and bad acting. This is all done by design. It would have been more realistic if we saw a boom mic lowered into the shot every now and then with a director yelling.
Because I didn't have to listen to Will Farrell in English, for some reason his lines were funnier and I was able to tolerate him. Make no mistake, this is a film for bad movie lovers. If you don't love bad movies, i.e. not a fan of MST 3000 don't bother with this film. Great film for Asylum lovers.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex? rear nudity. Only 4 stars. It still had Will Farrell in it.

Despite the negative reviews I took a chance, subtitles don't put me off and I'm a big Ferrel fan. I will openly admit you're not going to be laughing out loud for much of this film but I really enjoyed its rediculous nature. Not sure how previous reviewers didn't appreciate the production values were meant to be low and that this is a parody of bad film. Give it a go you may well enjoy it as much as me and some of the other reviewers.

Whoever decided it was hilarious must be easily pleased. I think Will Ferrell is great, this film is a good idea and there were some laugh out loud moments but it's not his best. Worth watching though. 3/5

To actually enjoy this movie you must have some knowledge of Mexican culture or Mexican movies from the30's, 40's and 50's.This movie is very well executed and Will Ferrell does an excellent job.

This is one of the worst films I've ever watched. I like Will Ferrell movies but this one just isn't funny, save yourself some time and money, avoid this movie.

surprising film in lots of ways....its all in spanish, a parody of cheesy mexican movies I guess, lots of absurd peckinpahesque shootouts with blood fountains and flailing limbs..lolworthy, True Fact. Shamanic element to the plot which I wont give away, but suffice to say if you like magical realism you'll appreciate the layers unraveling here during the tale of Armando on his Heroic Journey. he is a mystical naif, a misunderstood potential..Even though he is unable to roll a decent cigarette, he can catch a woman who's thrown over the bannisters, heh heh. heh. heh heh. heh. heh heh. heh. heh heh. heh. heh heh. heh.
Very Funny, tongue in cheek movie. Heh. heh heh. heh. heh heh. heh. heh heh. heh.

Dreadful
Fancy throwing away what could have been a brilliant idea on such a sub-standard film. Ferrell is fine but has little to work with. Read more

After seeing the trailer I had high-hopes for this film, but I was sadly disappointed. There was huge scope for a spoof macho film set in Mexico, but this film failed to achieve... Read more

Waste of Money
Like many, I assumed a 'Will Ferrell' would be good.
