Amy Poehler has signed on for the cast of The House, Will Ferrell’s upcoming movie about a couple who run an underground gambling ring after blowing through their daughter’s college fund. Poehler will play Ferrell’s wife, hopefully rescuing the movie from the “crazy husband, bland, nagging wife” paradigm that it could so easily fall into, because nobody can bring the comic crazy like Amy Poehler. With any luck, audiences will get to see her sink her teeth into the role of a suburban casino enforcer, threatening to break people’s end table legs or wining and dining big fish soccer moms.
