Luckily for them, their friend Frank (Mantzoukas) gives them the idea to start an illegal casino in Frank’s basement, in order to make back the money in no time…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
It’s been a while since Will Ferrell has headlined a comedy – at least since 2015’s Daddy’s Home – so this outrageous comedy should see him and co-stars Amy Poehler and Jason Mantzoukas deliver the satisfying laugh-out-loud goods in spades.
