The House

About This Movie

The House (2017) is this wild blend of comedy and crime that dives into the lengths parents will go to for their kids. When Scott and Kate find out that their daughter’s scholarship is a no-go, they team up with a friend to set up an underground casino in their home. It’s got this chaotic energy, with a pacing that swings between laugh-out-loud moments and some deeper themes of desperation and family. The performances bring a quirky charm, especially from Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler, who manage to ride that line between absurdity and relatability. It's a bit of a ride with some practical effects that add to the whole low-key vibe. Definitely a unique take on the parental struggle, wrapped in a comedic package.
