"FacebookPinterest\n\nBattles with taxidermied predators, mock-Scarface bloodbaths, slow-motion hair flips, and one unforgettable sex scene featuring Will Ferrell's spongy ass getting kneaded like cookie dough. These are a few of the charms of Casa de Mi Padre, Ferrell's demented labor of love inspired by those chintzy, romantically ridiculous Mexican telenovelas. \"I love how seriously they take themselves\u2014and the hairstyles,\" says Ferrell. The film is a gamble, since it's shot entirely in Spanish, a language Ferrell learned on the fly. \"I always thought it would be funny and insane to place myself in an all-Latino cast, playing a Latino,\" he says. \"Without the joke that my Spanish is bad.\"\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n Click to enlarge\n\nIn other words, it's vintage Ferrell: affectionately childish and supremely crude, only this time with laughably crappy scenery. Ferrell plays doofus rancher Armando Alvarez opposite legit Mexican stars Diego Luna, as Armando's corrupt brother, Raul, and Gael Garc&amp;amp;#xED;a Bernal\u2014himself a vet of telenovelas\u2014as evil drug lord La Onza. A deadly love quadrangle develops around bombshell G\u00E9nesis Rodr&amp;amp;#xED;guez. Guess who gets the girl\u2014and that surreal money shot. \"[Screenwriter] Andrew Steele always had this glorious love scene focused on butts...many, many glorious shots of butts,\" says Ferrell.\n\nAt this point, it's clear that there are two Ferrells: the guy who plays \"Will Ferrell\" in wannabe blockbusters like Land of the Lost and the beloved one who makes cult-flicks-by-design that feel (for better and worse) like extended SNL sketches, &amp;amp;#xE0; la Anchorman. Casa de Mi Padre is for fans of the latter. Viva infantilism!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
