House Party

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.

"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 remake of the 1990 film of the same name. This remake is directed by Calmatic, who himself is more known for directing music videos by various music artists.

The film is about Damon (Tosin Cole), who is not financially strong. In fact, his financial situation is so bad that he can hardly afford to pay for his house anymore. Together with his friend Kevin (Jacob Latimore), she tried to make money cleaning houses.

When they also lose this job, they decide to throw a house party at the last house they cleaned: LeBron James' house. Knowing that LeBron won't be coming home, the two friends throw a big party at his house and try to make money from it. The house party seems to be a financial success at first, but when things start to get out of hand, things change for the two friends.

In addition to the beginning directing work of the more musical video clip director, this remake is also written more by musical writers. The writers have done more writing for a short musical TV film and a series. They know how to process their musical knowledge well and appropriately in this remake with comedy that responds to this. Unfortunately, further comedy comes across less and here it can sometimes be seen that this remake is the work of novice people in the film world. This sometimes makes it seem more like you are suddenly watching images from an animated film or series such as Family Guy. With some more experienced writing and a better comedy background, this movie could have been better and more comedic.

Tosin Cole and Jacob Latimore try to carry the film as the leads, but due to the less written script, their characters don't always come out as fun to really follow as the leads. Because of this, you also don't always care about their characters when they find themselves in a new problem again. They also know how to fill the film with entertaining cameos from famous people, especially people from the music world. Most of these people get little to do with their time in the movie besides providing some extra comedy.

I'd be lying if I said that this reboot of House Party didn't get a handful of really good laughs out of me. But that's about all there was.

At 100 minutes, the movie feels much longer than it is. Many of the same jokes are reused again and again throughout the film, not for the sake of setup and payoff, but for rehashing material, and the humor has diminishing marginal returns as the story trudges on.

This is definitely a stoner comedy, as a great deal of the plot is simplistic while relying on absurdist moments thrown in for shock value. It made me laugh at times, for sure, because some of the visual gags are so unexpected. But there's only so much value in it.

I appreciated the story's occasional attempts at adding character development for the two main friends as they struggle to accept each others' flaws, but this arc is so rushed through that it feels tacked on.

I certainly got enough enjoyment out of this that I don't regret seeing it, but it doesn't have nearly enough good, memorable qualities to make it worth recommending.

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!
