When Scott and Kate Johansen’s daughter gets into the college of her dreams it’s cause for celebration. That is, until Scott and Kate learn that the scholarship they were counting on didn’t come through, and they’re now on the hook for tuition they can’t begin to afford. With the help of their friend and neighbor Frank also in need of a major payday they decide to open an illegal casino in his suburban house, risking everything together on a Vegas-style bacchanal where money flows, inhibitions are checked at the door, and all bets are off.

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
kasperqh Its fun movie i couldnt stop laughing why all hating on this? Just dont listen to the negtivity and watch it, its good.
jackgdemoss I am starting to realize what modern day slapstick looks like and it turns out I dislike it just as much as any other form of slapstick comedy. Fortunately, The House does not rely too heavily on it. At most times ridiculous, hilarious performances by Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell carried this film to its watchable rating.
C Evans The first 30-40 minutes are fairly promising as long as you buy into the silly premise. But I was still onboard because of the great character actors. There's a lot of funny people in the movie but the script is absurd, and not in a good way.When a certain act of violence happens in the middle the rest of the movie just doesn't make any sense anymore and it doesn't play by the silly movie town rules they started with. There's laughs at times throughout the movie but not enough for me to recommend it.
pepperhead1 However, the line "math gives him a neurosis and numbers make him nervous" is one of my favorites lines, ever!!
