Kitchen Party

I saw this movie on Superchannel when there was absolutely nothing else on. The synopsis was something like "Teenagers have a party in the kitchen when their parents aren't home". I thought, "that sounds lame, kinda like 'Can't Hardly Wait'". I watched it anyway. During the first few minutes I thought it was a little slow, and prepared myself to be bored out of my mind. Then the movie got going.

Finally, a good Canadian movie!!! I had no idea it was Canadian, until about half-way through, when I realized that none of the cast had accents!

Anyway, on to the movie itself. Such a great little film. It completely brought me back to my high school/college days. The characters were REAL - they didn't seem like they were reading scripts or trying for laughs. I didn't feel like my emotions were being fooled around with. This is an HONEST movie.

The acting was really great (I thought). Each character was very well developed.

The ONE problem (very minor) I had with this movie, was the fact that the parents of Scott and Steve were so anal about keeping their carpets perfect, yet they did NOT seem like those type of people when they were out with their friends. That part just didn't gel for me.

But, aside from that very minor set-back, I really liked this movie. I can't say enough good things about it. It was so ON. A REAL movie that actually describes the feelings that go with being a teenager, old enough to move out of the house, but STILL living with your dreaded parents. I can't recommend this movie to enough people.

After seeing this movie, I've GOTTA go rent "Suburbanites".

There isn't really a whole lot to say on this one.Other then the fact that it is unique. Teens(like me) probably would prefer Can't Hardly Wait, as it is what were used to, and its got a soundtrack and everything, but this one actually has characters that arn't just at a party they've all got stories. 8/10

Intercuts between high school kids at one home, and typical wasp parents drinking at dinner party, which leads to a crisis for all concerned. The satire of white middle class life is old hat, and the teen life presented was done much better by same director in previous, debut effort - The Suburbanators. Skip this, and catch that one instead.

This film about a group of teenager doing a little forbidden party. Mainly the movie is very interresting for it's way of it makes his character talk. We can easily find the major themes in the movies : generation problem, drugs and gun and perhaps family. The uncool kid is the very first character of his kind (never seen that way of thinking in any other film). He is like the teller of the story, doesn t do much, doesn t miss much neither. He is the morality of the film basically. If you like to see how it is like to be a teenager in our days I really recommand you this movie. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did for it's truth that he is saying.

Netflix recommended this to me after I'd added another Scott Speedman movie to my instant queue. I'd been dragging my feet so far as watching it is concerned, and what finally pushed me over the edge was the running time- I was tired, but confident I could handle 82 minutes in a sitting.

Starts slow, picks up a little and plays like a meaner 'Dazed and Confused'. Recognized Tammy from her eventual stint as Marie Warner on '24', and enjoyed the fact that Scott Speedman played a completely unlikable prick, through and through. I was pleased they didn't pull that punch, making him a totally self-absorbed douche.
