Review of Casa de Mi Padre (2012) by Chris M — 16 Jul 2012
Though it may be poorly written and not chock full of jokes, its still a true novelty to see Will Ferrel in a film where he has to speak Spanish. But just because it doesn't have a lot of jokes doesn't mean I didn't laugh hysterically at this Mexican revenge film spoof.
From the crappy editing to the poor set designs, the resemblance of this film to old Mexican films, is almost pitch perfect. It has the same cliched revenge story and dialogue, but its all for the satire.
Playing it straight makes this film funnier than it should be. Some people just wished it could of been more like a Spanish version of Anchorman. I love how Will Ferrel is funny even when speaking a different language.
I hope he takes more roles like this in the future. Letter Grade: B.
