House Party

House Party is a sacred hood classic, it did NOT need a reboot, and certainly not this terribly scripted, acted, should have been on Tubi film. I want my time back, and the $19.99 that I paid to stream it. Tosin Cole's character, Damon was beyond annoying, he was almost intolerable. I usually enjoy Jacob Latimore, however his character was flat, one dimensional, and predictable. Don't even get me started on Kid Cudi and that whole descent into the underworld of Hollywood, what even was that, and what did it have to do with anything? Also the three guys who were supposed to be the new brothers (Stab, PeeWee, and Zilla) were too over the top. Don't even get me started on LeBron! We get it, you're great, we didn't need this unnecessary reboot to remind us all of your greatness. It was basically a love letter to himself. This film was abysmal. Leave our classics alone, no one asked for this.

The original had heart and some decent laughs in some really funny situations. Kid N Play we're perfect and that movie was just perfect with its supporting cast. Many of those cast members went on to the Friday franchise and relied on humor not stupidity. The music was great and that movie's director went to direct Eddie Murphy's Boomerang.

No clue why they messed with an already perfect low brow comedy that worked. I guess LeBron figured if he puts his name on something it sells. Well, that might work if what he's doing is any good. First he screwed up SpaceJam and now House Party. I gotta quit giving his "entertainment" a chance when it simply sucks.

This time around the director is Known for music videos and is out of his league making movies. This is basically one long music video that relies on its two leads who I guess are real life rappers. They break into LeBron James home and decide to party by inviting everyone. Yup, a multimillionaire's home, in a well to do neighborhood gets invaded by folks we're supposed to believe will have no issues blending in to a wealthy community. Um ya

Anyhow there were a few chuckles and some decent music but not enough to carry 100 minutes. Instead it's like watching a pimp my ride or mtv cribs episode. Even the music just isn't original enough to capture what the 1990 movie had. Im all for a remake, but it's got to be better than the original. Save your money with this one.

"House Party" may have been given a shiny new coat of paint, but it's hard to shake off the feeling that something is missing. The nostalgia is definitely there, with nods to the original film and a star-studded cast, but the heart and soul of the first movie seems to have been lost in the transition. The chemistry between Damon and Kevin is definitely enjoyable, and the party scenes are filled with energy, but the film's attempts to appeal to a new generation come across as forced and inauthentic. The cameos are definitely a highlight, but the jokes and references sometimes fall flat, and the storyline feels a bit too similar to the first movie. Overall, "House Party" is a fun and nostalgic romp, but it doesn't quite live up to the original.

House Party is a cultural significant classic film full of amazing music, great casting, a touching story and the promise of maturity. This 30 year old reboot has none of that.

No one in this movie is likeable. Nothing about this movie is funny and there is zero redemption for the story or characters. The premise is dumb, the acting is weak and the direction is a perfect example of why black cinema can never get off the ground.

This is not only possible the worst reboot of all time, it is without a doubt one of the worst films of all time. They try to spice this up with the occasional call back or cameo but there is no saving this film. In the end, it feels like a On Demand movie, but anyone who paid for this would be expecting a refund.

I don't know who signed off on this, but it is 100% trash!

House party the 2023 remake of the very funny 1990 original does have an interesting premise, a high school student and his friend are having a house party at his home while his parents are away, but what it doesn't have in the remake is one thing, the charm, the script and the performances, because the acting is not very good, the screenplay is just useless d.c. Young fly is embarrassing in the role and everything else is just pointless to the t, this is a useless and ill conceived remake of a very good classic, the two actors are no kid and play and don't have chemistry, they are unfunny and have zero to work with, this is a pointless film and is heading on my list of one of the worst movies of the year

stick to the original house party from 1990 and dump this one.
