Ferrell and Poehler start a casino as Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema releases the trailer for the upcoming comedy The House. View trailer below.

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 the basement of his house.

I just say this trailer when I went to see Fist Fight in theaters. On the surface of this preview, it looks pretty funny and seeing Ferrell and Poehler interact together looks hilarious. The story doesn’t seem original, but a lot of the jokes and gags shown look promising. However, I wonder how this movie will fare in the middle of summer 2017, with all the other summer movie lineups. We’ll just have to wait and see. For now, The House is on radar (on that’s a good thing).

The House  hits theaters on June 30th, 2017
