NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Oliver Thatcher Watson This film has everything you would expect. There are plenty of funny moments and an alright premise. The problem, however, is how redundant this movie feels. It's not that bad of a movie, but it's just that everything done in this movie has been done better in previous movies. It has that Will Ferrell humor, sure, but it's nothing special. Nothing about this movie, other than the fact that it's about a Casino in a house, is special, and it's hard for me to recommend when there are far better films with Will Ferrell in them, as this movie is a painfully bland Will Ferrell outting.

squaremilenews I suppose the meeting goes something like this: "Wow. You think you can get Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler on the same page with this?" "Yep, they're on board, two Saturday Night Live standouts, with Will obviously the bigger name, it can't miss." Hollywood does not think it really matters what the story/script is about once you have these two performers. Anything will do and that's certainly the case with this dreadful film by Andrew Jay Cohen, the man who brought us the awful 'Bad Neighbours.' He's just repeated the trick of pulling in a couple of names. That film starred Seth Rogen and Zac Efron and resulted in a sequel! 'The House' is billed as a comedy, but nothing funny happens, there are no clever/witty lines, zero. Stop paying for this garbage you are only encouraging them.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 There are only maybe two or three moments in 'The House (2017)' that made me audibly chuckle - 'chuckle' being the operative word because nothing escaped my lips that came close to what I'd qualify as a full blown 'laugh' - and only a couple more that provoked even a smile. In fact, the funniest moment occurs in the gag-reel, which doesn't count because that's not actually part of the movie. It fails as a comedy and essentially fails as a film, too, though not spectacularly so because, while it is passably entertaining, it is painfully forgettable and, even when the contrivances of the plot come into play - which are indeed contrivances in every sense of the word, nothing stands out and even less surprises. 5/10

janerosslj I'm a Will Ferrel fan. But this, it's just horriable! Actors are great, which is what makes you interested in the movie, but very badly done and script writing is below average. I really wanted to like this! :( Please don't waste your time!
