La Casa de mi padre


Will Ferrel's latest cinematic outing looks like a refreshing, pastiche action comedy and I'm really looking forward to it. It's exactly what Ferrel needs to revitalize after the turgid, lazy The Other Guys. All of his dialogue is in Spainish and it looks like they're playing with the Latin american action genre, somehow it looks explosive and ridiculous in a good way, without being too silly. The look of the film is smooth and intense complete with versatile slow mo camera work, which is unexpected considering this is the first feature from director Mat Piedmont who previously directed sketches for SNL.
