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.
