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 😎

Kid is struggling with his impending marriage to girlfriend Veda. His ex-girlfriend Sydney (Tisha Campbell) returns. He and Play fail to sign Sex as a Weapon (TLC) to promoter Showboat's lame tour. Stinky is a hanger-on. There are Kid's uncle Vester (Bernie Mac) and his three little cousins.

The guys are not necessarily compelling actors. They had some innocent fun as younger performers. They don't have that anymore. This would be more interesting historically if TLC are main characters. The story meanders. The comedy isn't funny. Tisha Campbell has only a few lines. The other actors are nothing interesting. The three kids are more annoying than fun. There's a party at the end but I don't care by that point.

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 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.

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.
