Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler have to put a daughter through Bucknell, but the town doesn't come through on a scholarship. Thus, they turn to friend Jason Mantzoukas who comes up with the idea of creating a casino in his house.
Mantzoukas is the best part of the film and this is the least funny he's ever been.
Not that the film doesn't have laughs, it does, they just aren't as often as you'd want in a comedy.
Worth seeing on HBO once for the sparse chuckles, but don't spend a dime to see it.
