“The House” (** out of four) was an occasionally funny but mostly dumb comedy about a married couple (Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler) who set up an illegal casino business in their home after losing their daughter’s college money and not wanting to disappoint her. Fans of Ferrell and Poehler may want to check this out but it’s an empty house for the rest of us. Jeremy Renner has a key cameo towards the end but it’s hardly worth sticking around for.
