Uma Festa de Arromba

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.

As remakes or tributes go, this missed so many marks. It had so much promise (the concept and original set a high expectation standard). But there were too many cringe worth moments to mention... the anticipated dance, the mock of Full Force, the high DJ, the random fight scene!? It just started off the mark and continued down that track for the entire film. Cameos we're cool, but seemed out of place in such a lacklustre movie.

Some elements were ok, but the attempt to almost one up the original didn't set this film apart or act as a Fitting tribute.

Long story short.... Some things should be left well enough alone, and respected for what it is/was.

This was nothing but a quick cash grab of a mess. Unlikeable main characters who surround themselves with female hood rats that resemble back in the day 42nd street hookers. I didn't laugh once, this is no tribute to the original House Party movies, it's a disgrace. Anyone who gave this disaster good reviews must be huge LeBron fans or maybe his family members.... Oh wow, not enough characters to write this review? I can't come up with anymore things to say about this piece of.... hold on.... What!? I have 89 more characters to go? Please don't waste your time watching this movie unless you need background noise to sleep!

"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 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.
