The first trailer for Burlington native Amy Poehler’s new movie The House hit the internet Wednesday, and from the looks of it, she and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Will Ferrell will be involved in some pretty illegal activity.

Poehler and Ferrell play middle-class parents who open up an illegal casino in their suburban home to help pay for their daughter’s college education. Based on the trailer, it looks like the film plays perfectly to the duo’s comedy stylings, a mix of high-energy physical comedy and hilarious back-and-forth dialogue.

Also showing up in the film are funnymen Jason Mantzoukas, Rob Huebel, and Poehler’s former boyfriend, Nick Kroll.

The House, which is due in theaters June 30, will be Poehler’s first film since 2015’s Sisters with Tina Fey, and Ferrell’s first since reprising the role of the villainous Mugatu in Zoolander 2.
