Will Ferrel, Amy Poehler, And Jason Mantzoukas are the fantastic trio behind this hilarious comedy. Go in enjoying the ridiculous moments and the fun of this insane movie. The movie takes you for a hell of a ride in unexpected situation and the jokes totally land.

A fun roller-coaster of a movie and you will be laughing your heads off. Suburban insanity with a comedic twist.

Don't over think it, just enjoy it.

Ugh. That was awful. A decent premise and cast is completely squandered on this unoriginal, boring mess. I didn't so much as chuckle once. I wasn't expecting a comedy so dull.

Pretty funny, everyone in it is good. Just a little meandering. It never feels like it has a strong direction for what is going to happen next. All the jokes still land, just hard to keep track of the pacing.

Surprisingly more funny than I thought it would be. Will Ferrell is his crazy usual self and Amy Poehler is great too. She just doesn't look right as anything but a blonde. Not saying that she is ugly its just I'm so use to seeing her as a blonde. I loved Jason Mantzoukas. He still plays the same guy he did in the league but its still funny. [spoiler]The cameo by Jeremy Renner was hilarious. That whole scene where he loses his arms had me laughing hard.[/spoiler]

Not a good movie, but some scenes made me laugh so hard that I have to give it a 6.
A lot of people in the room loved it though.

The plot of _The House_ is surprisingly heartfelt, and that tone is maintained throughout - despite how crazy moments become.
The story here is very simple: a mother and father are trying to send their daughter to college, but it's more than they can afford, so the solution is to open a casino. What could go wrong?
The movie follows the common beats of any comedy. No big surprises here. The highlight, for me, was a scene involving a finger - I'll leave it at that. Aside from that, there were no big laughs, but the film was entertaining from start to finish.
Ferrell and Poehler are both great, and more subdued than they tend to be.

Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler star in _The House_, a mediocre R-rated screwball comedy. When the town council revokes their daughter’s college scholarship, the Johansens decide to partner up with a friend to open up an underground casino in order to get the money. Ferrell and Poehler (both former SNL cast members) play their characters way over-the-top, as if they’re straight out of an SNL sketch. And the jokes are kind of hit and miss; with a lot clichéd and stereotypical gags. Though it delivers a few laughs, _The House_ is a pretty forgettable and formulaic film.

As someone who loves Amy and Will, I gotta say... This movie was kinda weak... Gave some laughs but have seen better movies of them.

Well to be frank, it's not a drop on the floor and rolling around funny kind of movie, BUT it's not by any means a boring movie. If you're looking for a deep and meaningful story, you're in the wrong place. If you're looking for a movie to enjoy with the kids (there is some strong language and the idea of 'making love') or just one to enjoy with bored friends, this would be your movie.

I can't say much about the plot, but you can basically turn off your brain, crack open a beer or light up, sit back and watch this for the heck of it.

It really seemed like a pretty funny movie to me. He made me laugh on many occasions and I would definitely repeat it again.

If the film had starred anybody else - Rob Schneider and Katharine Heigl, for example - this would have been a complete misfire. Thankfully, it stars Ferrell and Poehler, so despite the film's thin premise, it is worth taking a gamble on.
