Odd, intermittently amusing but wholly unsatisfying, an oddball experiment that simply doesn't work.

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.

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.

I regard Casa de Mi Padre as an interesting but failed experiment.

Ferrell is an hombre loco. Mi gusta.
