It's not doing terribly well in the IMDb ratings or on Rotten Tomatoes but its spoofing of poor production values sounds like a lot fun in the same sense as Black Dynamite and Grindhouse were. I can't say the trailer made me laugh or even elicit a small giggle but I like the sound of it and some of the reviews make it sound right up my street.
Total Film say: 'Revelling in the gloriously tacky excesses of telenovelas, Casa features a procession of unabashedly crappy sets dressed with fake plants, painted backdrops, stiff staging and ‘animals’ including a D-grade animatronic white cougar.'
Sounds silly but that's what a Will Ferrell film is all about! Here is the trailer:
OK rewatching that did just make me chuckle a little bit. I guess it all depends on how much Ferrell you can tolerate. So what say you? Dumbest movie idea ever or risky business resulting in comedy gold?
This doesn't look any different than other Ferrell's fares like Taladega Nights, etc. I might rent it on a slow night, my gut says this is more of the dumb idea than comedy gold.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I've got to miss my free screening so will have to wait and see how this turns out!
DeleteOh bummer! Oh well, maybe it's only worth a rental anyway, Pete.
Deletehaha most likely!
DeleteOh man gutted. I had to give up my Press screening tix too, and Teri couldn't go as she was ill. Shame as i am quite interested in seeing this... as it looks stupid!
ReplyDeleteYeah at least it look interesting and uniquely stupid!
Deleteoh my god, yes please.
ReplyDeleteaaah another fan? Wishing I could have made it to the screening!
DeleteThis does look exceedingly stupid. Perfect film to rent for a drunken movie night.
ReplyDeleteYeah... drunk! Why didn't I think of that?
DeleteI'm up for the movie but only as a rental. It seems that they didn't go all the way enough or something in the execution left to be desired but idea-wise, I thought it looked promising.
ReplyDeleteYeah it sounds a lot of funnier than they make it look in the advert. But maybe they are just trying not to spoil it!
DeleteDon't think I would watch anything from Will Ferrell now. I recently watched Anchorman, and didn't impressed me. But surprised he would be in a subtitled movie.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a bold move. Pretty low budget so don't think the producers are expecting the crowds to come rushing in.
