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 fiancé, gorgeous 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).

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"This very funny spoof of telenovelas and classic Mexican westerns is decidedly offbeat and absurdly daffy (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
"It's fitfully amusing and I have the sense that Spanish-speaking audiences will like it more than I did, although whether they'll be laughing with it or at it, I cannot say (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"With 'Casa de Mi Padre', it's often hard to tell the difference between when it's making fun of bad movies and when it's being one (...) Rating: * (out of four)" (Michael O’Sullivan: The Washington Post)
