Casa De Mi Padre is the inspired new film from Matt Piedmont. The film is a laugh out loud American comedy harking back to the B-movie style of film-making, but with a difference: it is in the Spanish language.
An ingenious spoof on the over-heated Spanish telenovela in the style of Naked Gun, Will Ferrell plays Armando, a simple-minded Mexican rancher, whose brother Raul disrupts their family life when he arrives home with sultry new bride Sonia. Plans for a wedding are ruined, not only by Armando’s growing infatuation with Sonia, but through the violent intervention of Raul’s ruthless boss, drug-cartel boss Onza, a man so tough he smokes two cigarettes at once!
The hilarious comedy and camera work provide audiences with a film which is an exciting and highly original oddity, complete with extreme camera zoom, inexplicable slow motion sequences, an animatronic white snow leopard and mannequins disguised as extras.
The actors provide a wonderful and hilarious phenomenon which starts with a cracking opening sequence, giving audiences a crisp and modern view of the Mexico landscape. The epic music which is played throughout this films works perfectky with the story of two brothers, thier problems and the debts of the family ranch. We are bringing you a film that is at times surreal but offers you a comical take on sibling rivalry.
*The plot is genuinely clever, and there's a continual stream of knowing gags that'll keep fans of B-movies chuckling.* Shadows on the Wall
*A joyous, ramshackle celebration of sloppy filmmaking and cheapo production design.* Total Film
