Overview

When Scott and Kate Johansen’s daughter gets into the college of her dreams it’s cause for celebration. That is, until Scott and Kate learn that the scholarship they were counting on didn’t come through, and they’re now on the hook for tuition they can’t begin to afford. With the help of their friend and neighbor Frank also in need of a major payday they decide to open an illegal casino in his suburban house, risking everything together on a Vegas-style bacchanal where money flows, inhibitions are checked at the door, and all bets are off.

Viewing Notes

This was a quick pick off the shelf at my library. I think I remember this going to the theaters last year for like a week? Can it be that bad with Poehler and Ferrell?

Hey it’s not bad! Very much an absurdist comedy that pushes the disbelief in every corner but has some funny moments and Ferrell/Poehler are great together. Wish Jeremy Renner got more screen time. The outtakes at the end make this seem like it was very fun to make.
