mgratk I thought with the talented big names, this was a sure thing for some dumb laughs. Nope. Two stars, both of them for the camera operators, lighting people, and all the others who had to watch this travesty being made. Not only is it not funny, but it is wholly predictable and dull. The characters are soulless and devoid of humanity. The actors mostly seemed to know it, too, and there was nothing even Wil Ferrell could do to save it. I was really in the mood for a good comedy and this wasn't it. The only good thing about this film is that it proves that good comedy isn't easy. Apparently it is extremely difficult.

slgooding1 Highly enjoyable flick. Especially helpful on days when you need a good hard laugh. Don't believe the hype.

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.

janerosslj I'm a Will Ferrel fan. But this, it's just horriable! Actors are great, which is what makes you interested in the movie, but very badly done and script writing is below average. I really wanted to like this! :( Please don't waste your time!
