As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez). It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal). -- (C) Pantelion Films

Critic Reviews
-
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Odd, intermittently amusing but wholly unsatisfying, an oddball experiment that simply doesn't work.
-
Ian Buckwalter, The Atlantic
As a low-budget independent not necessarily intended for a broad audience, Casa doesn't have to bow to the middle-of-the-road multiplex appeal that handcuffs many SNL-pedigreed films. That works to the film's great benefit.

Eric D. Snider, Film.com
I tend to be amused by Ferrell in most circumstances, and the things I like about him - his bizarre sensibilities hidden beneath a mainstream exterior, his unwavering sincerity regardless of his characters' absurdity - are on display here.

Dana Stevens, Slate
I regard Casa de Mi Padre as an interesting but failed experiment.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Ferrell is an hombre loco. Mi gusta.
