To be real, I think the trailer undersells the movie's potential for brilliance and oversells its twisted genre conventions. Starring Will Ferrell in his first Spanish language role alongside Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, Casa De Mi Padre is a spoof Western that follows rancher Armando Alvarez (Ferrell) as he entangles himself in conflicts of romance and drug trafficking. It's directed by former Saturday Night Live writer and winner of the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Short Filmmaking at the Sundance Film Festival for "Brick Novax's Diary" Matt Piedmont. Though there is no release date set for the film yet, I think theatres will be packed for this one.

Highly recommend you see the original or at least a trailer of the original on YouTube. It makes it THAT much better. Very excited to see Will Farrell as a Mexican.
