Reviews

Despite the star-studded cast of Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell, The House fails to hit the mark with critics. The film received a dismal rating of 5.6/10 on IMDb, indicating lackluster audience approval. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a meager 20% rating, with critics describing it as a missed opportunity for the talented actors. Metacritic was equally unimpressed, awarding The House a paltry score of 30/100. Reviews cited the film's weak script, predictable plot, and reliance on crude humor as major drawbacks. While Poehler and Ferrell deliver their trademark comedic performances, they are unable to elevate the movie beyond its flaws. Overall, The House falls short of expectations and fails to live up to the potential of its talented cast.
