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.

The House is widely regarded as a forgettable and unremarkable comedy that relies heavily on a thin, clichéd premise. While some viewers find it an acceptable way to pass time with friends, most critics and audience members criticize the film for its poor execution, flat humor, and lack of originality.

Screenplay The film suffers from a weak, repetitive screenplay that relies on tired tropes and fails to deliver consistent laughs.
Acting Jeremy Renner’s brief cameo is perceived as an unnecessary and baffling addition that adds little value to the overall narrative.
Originality The film provides a lightweight, undemanding experience that some find suitable for casual viewing, while others find it irritatingly forgettable and poorly made.
Humor The comedy is highly polarized; some audiences appreciate the lighthearted, crude humor for a social movie night, while many others find the jokes flat, forced, and cringe-worthy.
Runtime The short runtime is viewed as a benefit by those who see it as an easy, quick watch, though others feel the film lacks sufficient substance to justify its production budget.
