[[caption-width-right:300:The funniest movie you'll ever read.]]
A parody of Spanish {{soap opera}}s, starring WillFerrell. It tells the tale of Armando Álvarez, who works on his father's ranch. However, they are in financial trouble. The whole family counts on his brother Raúl to fix their financial woes. It's also all in [[UsefulNotes/SpanishLanguage Spanish]], despite the star never speaking a word of Spanish before shooting.

!!''Casa de mi padre'' provides examples of:
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: In the trailer, Will Ferrell is called Will Fe''rr''ell.
* AffectionateParody
* BilingualBonus: Any scene with the DEA turns into this.
* BigBad: The Onza
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Armando coming to Raúl's aid in fighting La Onza]]. Later, [[spoiler:Esteban and Manuel save Armando]].
* TheCameo: Molly Shannon
* CaptainObvious: "I [am] riding a horse!"
* ChewingTheScenery: Everybody gets a nibble in this, true to its SoapOpera roots.
* ChekhovsGunman: You can easily forget him, but [[spoiler:DEA Agent #2 saves Armando.]]
* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler:The DEA agents are still around after the death of La Onza.]]
* {{Eagleland}}: The DEA in the movie.
* FlashBack: One to the death of Amrando's mother.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Armando smokes hand-rolled cigarettes, and La Onza smokes two Canadian Slims at once.
* {{Gorn}}: It's probably one of the bloodiest comedies you will ever see.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn
* OverlyLongGag: Armando, Esteban and Manuel laughing.
* ProductPlacement: Parodied with several fake products.
-->"Not all dirty ranchers like Canadian Slims."
* RecycledInSpace: This film is in many ways for Spanish telenovelas what ''Film/BlackDynamite'' is for Blaxploitation films.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: Throughout and intentionally, but special mention has to go to the model of the city, which has Hot Wheels cars dragged by strings. [[invoked]]
* StylisticSuck
* ThoseTwoGuys: Estaben and Manuel, the two ranchhands.
* VillainousIncest: [[spoiler:La Onza with Sonia.]]
