Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I thought with the talented big names, this was a sure thing for some dumb laughs. Nope. Two stars, both of them for the camera operators, lighting people, and all the others who had to watch this travesty being made. Not only is it not funny, but it is wholly predictable and dull. The characters are soulless and devoid of humanity. The actors mostly seemed to know it, too, and there was nothing even Wil Ferrell could do to save it. I was really in the mood for a good comedy and this wasn't it. The only good thing about this film is that it proves that good comedy isn't easy. Apparently it is extremely difficult.

I wasn't expecting much, I am a Will Farrell fan but I knew from other people it was bad. I just wanted a film to watch late on a Sunday night, something easy, something I didn't have to think about to much. Unfortunately it had the opposite affect on me, it wasn't easy it was painful. Painful to watch and I am thinking about it, I'm thinking about how bad it was. It's quite upsetting. I've never written a review until now. It's almost 1AM and I have work tomorrow. If your thinking about watching this just watch The Campaign again or one of his earlier films. If your a fan this will just disappoint you.

This movie is hilarious. My roommates and I have watched it twice and we all laughed our butts off each time we watched it. Packed full of jokes. "Why are you wearing sunglasses inside?" ".....Because my futures so bright?" Freaking hilarious! Give this movie a chance, it's worth it.

"The House' is one the best SNL-alumni comedies in recent memory.Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler play Scott and Kate, two parents excited about their daughter going to college. Unfortunately, a corrupt mayor (Nick Kroll) pulls her scholarship, forcing Scott and Kate to take drastic action.
With the help of unhinged friend Frank (Jason Mantzoukas), they start an illegal casino, which captives the small town of Fox Meadows."The House" is surprisingly violent for a comedy, with a lot of blood, fire, and severed body parts. It's a nice change from the usual tame fare.It's a lot of fun.
