Amy Poehler And Will Ferrell Open A Casino In First Trailer For The House

Their home casino is complete with DJs, a pool party, and, er, cage fighting.

Friday, February 17, 2017 - 16:08

The first trailer has dropped online for The House, the new comedy in which Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler discover they will do anything to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Including running an illegal, underground casino...

Warner Bros.

However, there’s more to running an illicit gambling den than running a few card games and cashing in chips. You need DJs, a strip club, a pool party, and er, cage fighting. After all, “you wanna make money like Vegas, you gotta look like Vegas…”

Take a look at the new trailer, below!

"The House" Official Trailer

Okay, so some of the jokes are a little hit and miss (why can’t Ferrell’s character add 40 and 20?), but with Ferrell and Poehler heading things up, we can’t really see this one going too far wrong. Unlike their characters’ scheme…

Directed by Andrew J Cohen and co-starring Jason Mantzoukas, and Nick Kroll, The House will open in the UK on 30 June 2017.
