Critic Reviews:
- " The House is a strange and surprisingly dark film, a funny movie whose humor comes from unexpected places. " – Allen Adams
- " Ferrell remains in the love-him-or-hate-him bracket but forms a sturdy double act beside the excellent Poehler. " – Hilary A White
- " A shimmering summer beacon of fun and frolics that will tickle the funny bone and then some. " – Scott Davis
