News Blurb: A Spanish Comedy, “Casa de mi Padre” Opens Friday, March 16, 2012, Nationwide

Casa de mi Padre is a Spanish comedy starring Will Ferrell, Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, Genesis Rodriguez, Efren Ramirez, and Pedro Armendariz Jr. Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial strains, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez) and pledges to settle all his father's debts. It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal). Casa de me Padre is a Nala & Gary Sanchez production distributed by Pantelion Films and is in Spanish with English subtitles. For more information, visit: http://casademipadremovie.com/
