Casa de mi Padre
2012 · Movie · R · 84 min · ★ 5.4 · 47% critics
Two brothers scramble to save their family’s ranch, but their plan pulls them into a dangerous clash with a notorious drug lord. Told as a Spanish-language spoof of melodramatic soap operas and old-school Mexican movies, it plays the drama straight while winking at the genre’s over-the-top style.

About
You’ll enjoy this if you like oddball, straight-faced spoofs and can laugh at intentionally fake-looking sets, melodrama, and bursts of violence; Not for you if you want consistent laughs or a sturdy plot like Semi-Pro.
Pros: bold telenovela parody; goofy sight gags; Spanish-language novelty | Cons: hit-or-miss humor; thin story; intentionally cheesy look
