Movie: Casa De Mi Padre
Genre: comedy
Synopsis: This was a strange one. It guess “tongue in cheek” kind of describes it. The movie is entirely in Spanish. It is set on a ranch in Mexico. The patriarch is Miguel Ernesto (Pedro Armendariz Jr.) He has two sons: Raul (Diego Luna) who has been living in the city, but has now returned to the ranch; his other son is Armando (Will Ferrell) - loyal but incredibly naïve (and stupid?). The two brothers end up in a war against Mexico’s biggest drug lord. Through into the mix Armando falling in love with Raul’s fiancée (Genesis Rodriguez).
My two cents: I am all for off-beat comedies – but this one was just too far out there for me. I would love to have sat in on the pitch that convinced someone to put up the money to make this film.
