Review of Casa de Mi Padre (2012) by Brendan D — 23 Mar 2012
Another Will Ferrell movie I thoroughly enjoy, but the critics hate. Casa De Mi Padre deserves credit for originality- it's a Will Ferrell comedy in Spanish, yes, but it's also a movie that tries to be a "bad" movie (the blatant fake animals, painted sets, editing discontinuities, etc) defined the film as much as the language aspect.
The strategy is a dangerous one; this combination of foreign language/purposeful poor quality is difficult to pull off to say the least. I think that for what it is, Casa De Mi Padre works, for the most part.
While in no way is it a "good movie," I found myself laughing out loud often, and isn't that the point?
