It's no classic, but I laughed a lot. Will and Amy work well together, but there could have been a bit more development in the cop & council characters.

A few funny scenes in an overall forgettable movie. I like most of the performers here, but for the most part their wasted. Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler both have moments that shine but not nearly enough. C

For such a boring cast, this lightweight comedy written on knee had no right to become success. What is most surprising is the fact I liked it (little bit). I do not say it's a good movie, but some moments were wildly funny despite the bad plot.

I thought it would be a lot funnier. Still a decent movie. It would be awesome to turn a house into a secret mini casino.

One of those comedies that every year makes out. Despite not the best film, still fun to watch. But the thing is it is not a big screen film. I mean for todays world, watching this kind in cinemas, totally useless. On the weekends, watching it with a bunch of friends on the streaming platform or television would do better.

The story was much better than I anticipated. It was about the parents who lost their daughter's college scholarship, now wants an alternative solution, so they decide to go illegal. I mean gamble and then they make one, a gambling house. The consequence of it haunts them and what happens later is the film's end.

The screenplay writer's directional debut. The cast was just good. The runtime was even better, less than 90 minutes. So there's no drag, except a few unavoidable cliches in such comedy. Jeremy Renner's cameo was good. Overall, watch and forget kind film. But the idea looked nice, so I won't be surprised if they make a sequel to it. If a crappy comedy like 'Neighbors' makes one, then why not this! But I'm not in favour, unless they come up with a better storyline.

Andrew J. Cohen's "The House" is a surprisingly effective comedy thanks to an interesting premise, a short runtime, and humour that lands more often than not.
