It’s summer time! That means a lot of wonderful movies are making their way to a theater near you. Have you had the opportunity to catch a movie lately?
Coming to a theater near you on June 30, 2017 is a new comedy from Warner Bros Pictures called The House.
The House stars comedy geniuses Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler.
My husband and I were at the movie theater yesterday afternoon and we had the opportunity to see the trailer for this film.
Check out the trailer for yourself.
After Scott and Kate Johansen (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) lose their daughter Alex’s college fund, they become desperate to earn it back so she can pursue her dream of attending a university. With the help of their neighbor Frank (Jason Mantzoukas), they decide to start an illegal casino in his house.
The comedy “The House” also stars Nick Kroll (“Vacation,” TV’s “Kroll Show”), Allison Tolman (TV’s “Fargo”), Michaela Watkins (TV’s “Transparent”), Ryan Simpkins (“Arcadia”), Jessie Ennis (TV’s “Veep” and “Better Call Saul”), Rob Huebel (“Horrible Bosses 2,” TV’s “Transparent”), Cedric Yarbrough (TV’s “Reno 911!”) and Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner (“The Town,” “The Hurt Locker,” “Arrival”).
As a parent to TWO children in college (one currently in college, the other one starts in the fall), I can totally relate to the overwhelming expense.
We live in a tiny condo, so opening up our own casino is not feasible (ha ha).
As a parent, I try and do all I can for my children, most especially when it comes to helping them reach their dreams. Take for example our daughter. When she was only six years old she declared that she wanted to be a fashion designer and attend school at F.I.T (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City. At such a young age she had a clear vision of what she wanted to do. I was especially impressed with her idea to open a store where EVERY article of clothing came in EVERY size – meaning a woman who was a size zero and a woman who was a size 4X could both wear the same blouse. I loved that idea!
To help develop her love of fashion we purchased a sewing machine, I picked up a lot of fabrics and books about fashion design. Even an elderly neighbor provided her with patterns to make her own clothing. I even purchased sketch books, colored pencils and people “figures” to help cultivate he desire to be a fashion designer.
This went on for many years until she was around 15 years old. For some odd reason she changed her mind and no longer had interest in being a fashion designer.
Currently she’s in college studying to be a Neuropsychologist (A neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specializes in understanding the relationship between the physical brain and behavior). That couldn’t be any further from a fashion designer.
We ended up giving away and donating all of her fashion designing supplies.
Anyway…
This film looks funny. Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler are always a joy to watch on the big screen.
