Wild Spoof of Low-Budget Mexican Flicks
Will Ferrell has distinguished himself in such memorable comedies as "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Elf," and "Wedding Crashers," but he's never before taken on a movie like "Casa de mi Padre."  Ferrell plays Armando Alvarez, a simple Mexican who is proud to work on his father's ranch.<br /><br />When the ranch begins to struggle financially, Armando's younger brother, Raul (Diego Luna), comes to the rescue and brings his beautiful fiancee, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez).  Raul is a successful international businessman who shows promise for helping save the ranch, but when Armando falls for Sonia and Raul's business dealings turn out to be shady, the Alvarez family find themselves in a war with each other and with Mexico's most feared drug lord, Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).<br /><br />The distinctive aspect of "Casa de mi Padre" is that it is in Spanish and broadly parodies low-budget Mexican cinema with intentionally cheap-looking studio sets juxtaposed with actual locations, fake horses on wheels,  badly "disguised" miniature models standing in for an actual town, and over-the-top performances. Wisely, director Matt Piedmont has kept the action brisk and the running time brief, so the movie never overstays its welcome. And, yes, there are English subtitles. The experience is richer if you are familiar with the genre being spoofed, but offers plenty of laughs even if you aren't.<br /><br />Bonus extras on "Casa de mi Padre," available on Blu-ray and DVD, include audio commentary with Will Ferrell, director Matt Piedmont, and writer/producer Andrew Steele; deleted scenes; making-of featurette; and a music video.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : 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, 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)..
