Casa de mi Padre Movie Synopsis & Plot
Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. 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).
MOVIE REVIEW
Will Ferrell is back, and he's speaking español. In Casa de mi Padre, Ferrell plays a dumb yet idealistic Mexican rancher named Armando whose beliefs are challenged when he encounters his brother's beautiful fiancé (Genesis Rodriguez) and discovers that his brother (Diego Luna) is a drug dealer who is gearing up to go to war with rival La Onza (played by Luna's Y Tu Mama Tambien costar Gael Garcia Bernal). As is evident from the plot and the lead actor, Casa de mi Padre is stupid and funny at the same time. ¡Ay ay ay!Read our Casa de mi Padre movie review »
