House Party 3

This was a good movie. Bernie Mac and Michael Coyler were funny. There was other comedy in the movie. I loved the last scene with the actual house party. It was pretty 😎

This movie was a real let down. House Party #1 and #2 were so funny and entertaining. And why isn't Martin Lawrence in this one? The only characters that returned from the first two House Party movies are Kid, Play and Cindy. Also, this film doesn't pick up where the second movie left off. It doesn't show how Kid and Cindy break up, or where Kid meets his new girl friend. It doesn't even tell you where Play's new car came from! This movie didn't have the magic that made the first two films so great. I didn't like this film at all. It was lousy, boring and a big disappointment. It didn't even seem like one of the House Parties. I give this movie an extremely rare 1 out of 10. I've only seen it once and I wouldn't watch it again if you paid me.

I saw it as a teen years ago and I'm afraid to watch it again. I have fair memories of it and certain parts and I'm afraid that if I watch it again I will only hate it as I did the first two. Kid nor Play can act and their plots are juvenile at best. But hey, it worked for me as a teenager.

I don't really care how bad people assume this film is, to me it is somewhat of a classic.

Bernie Mac steals the show from his opening scene as the dubious uncle Vester. Always about ten seconds away from losing his temper and revealing his true psychopathic side. This alone brings me and a fair few others close to tears.

Add to this Showboat and the cast of ex-con catering and defy virtually anyone not to need picking up from the floor. Hysterics are guaranteed.

Not big, not clever and certainly not in any top 100 lists, but a film that gets better each time I see it.

I've just watched the first two House Party movies, after the specactular HP2 this movie had a rough start. Almost gave up after the first 10 minutes, but it really did get better. It's more serious than the first two, less house party, more "adulty" drama. So I wouldn't say it's as fun as either of the first two, but it's still got the edge that makes it a part of the franchise.

Personally HP2 is my favorite, followed very close by HP1 and then HP3. If you're a Kid & Play fan then you'll enjoy more of the same humor as the first two had, it's just that the movie had much more of a "made for TV" feel with awkward cinematography at least during the first third. But by the end I didn't regret watching it. It's definitely not the 1 star movie some people have given it.
