It's mostly recycling the same stuff, over and over again, throughout the entire movie. It's a bit disappointing that this movie wasn't being a big more creative with its comedy at times. But I have a feeling that this movie is being very referential to Mexican cinema and I have seen basically very little of those movies, so most of the stuff is going over my head.
If you're into Mexican cinema, I'm sure this movie would be a far more hilarious one for you to watch. It will probably also help you to understand certain storytelling aspects and techniques behind the movie better than I did. But still, the movie could had been a real better one for everybody to watch, if it had a more tight script in it.
The story in this movie really isn't strong enough and it doesn't get you involved with any of its characters or their story lines.
I still really respect this movie for being different. It still works in some ways and it obviously is also a refreshing one. I was also definitely impressed with Will Ferrell in a Spanish talking role. He did a real great job with it and further more was also holding back a bit more with his usual comical routines, that are starting to annoy more and more people now days.
I wish I could see Diego Luna in more big movies, since I have always liked this guy and his acting. He also probably was the best thing about this movie. It actually also made me wonder if I would had perhaps liked this movie better if it got done more as a straight-forward action-drama.
It would had suited the actors and its story perhaps a tad bit better all and I do believe it would had made the movie a more compelling one to watch. An interesting experiment that is not a failure but nothing too impressive or innovative either.

You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update. The movie's big question has to do with choosing whether or not to fight -- and whether not fighting indicates cowardice. The movie seems to say that, when your family is at stake, it becomes necessary to stand up and fight.
The main character is a peaceful rancher who's appalled by anything illegal or unsavory. But his peaceful nature is perceived as cowardice, and he must find bravery within himself to make a stand for himself and his loved ones although this stand does include heavy violence.
The movie's climax is a highly stylized, gory shootout with gallons of blood and dead bodies. Over the course of the rest of the movie, minor characters are murdered in gruesome ways, and there are threats and arguments.
A long sex scene plays like a parody of ordinary sex scenes it's intended to be funny. A man and a woman appear naked; bare bottoms are seen many times, but no other sensitive body parts are shown. Several female characters are shown wearing skimpy outfits for men's pleasure. Strong language is spoken mostly in Spanish and subtitled in English.
Words include "f--k," "s--t," "py," "d--k," "damn," "hell," "goddamn," and more. One of the main characters is a drug dealer. Characters are seen sampling cocaine. Characters are also seen drinking and smoking in a bar. It's spoken almost entirely in Spanish with English subtitles , and content is very mature throughout -- there are highly stylized violent shootouts with lots of blood and dead bodies, plus a lengthy sex scene with naked bottoms shown -- all played for laughs.

Armando Will Ferrell is an earthy, simple son of a Mexican rancher. Sonia Genesis Rodriguez , there's great rejoicing; Raul could help save the family business. Unfortunately, no one knows that Raul has begun dealing drugs and is now involved with the villainous Onza Gael Garcia Bernal. As Armando deals with his own dark past and his sudden feelings for Sonia, he must decide how far he's willing to go to save his family -- and to at last become a man.
Ferrell is most likely laughing hysterically behind the scenes of this peculiar movie, but whether or not audiences will join him is another matter. Families can talk about Casa di mi Padre 's extreme gore and violence. How can you tell? The movie's lengthy sex scene is also seemingly played for laughs. Is it harder to portray tender emotions onscreen than it is to go over the top with crude humor? Is Ferrell's character a coward? Is it necessary to be violent to show bravery?

The movie has more butt-groping than anything this side of the Rio Grande. And the other side. Ferrell and the entire cast perform entirely in Spanish, and Ferrell sings a song that has already gone viral on YouTube.
He sounds perfectly fluent to me, but then how would I know? The movie is a jolly send-up of horse operas on Telemundo, which I have never seen, but my lack of qualifications isn't fatal because the movie hopes to do crossover business in addition to its obvious target audience. What possessed Ferrell to make this satire? My guess is that he got straight A's in Spanish and has spent years asking himself how that will further his career. Another possibility: He's made a lot of genre spoofs and why stop now?
Ferrell stars as Armando, the good-hearted, slow-witted son of a macho rancher the legendary Pedro Armendariz Jr. His father fawns on Armando's sleek, successful brother Raul Diego Luna , who all of his life has gotten everything right that Armando got wrong. So feckless is Armando, indeed, that he has never felt the love of a woman.
But when Raul returns home with the ravishing Sonia Genesis Rodriguez , Armando and Sonia need no more than meet eyes, and the earth trembles with their instinctive passion. What the old man doesn't suspect is that his ideal son is actually a drug dealer, in cahoots with the dastardly drug lord Onza Gael Garcia Bernal.
