    nothing interesting

    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.

    Far better than you think

    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.

    Few laughs, worth the watch

    This one definitely lacked some of the charm from the first two but it had its moments. There were a lot of cameos from now famous actors in it that were fun to see. The whole film felt rushed, like they were speeding along with the filming. A worthy part 3 of the series.

    Somewhat passable dud

    I didn't know what to expect but I didn't expect this. I will say it was somewhat fun to watch but we weren't watching high school or college folks. We were watching the next step in their lives, almost as if this was too juvenile for them

    With a group of supporting characters like (idk who's cousin it is) Stinky and Immature it feels like a weird House Party imitator that tried to write their own but with no magic in it

    It's not horrible, we see Cindy and are introduced to Veda, Kid's Fiancee who played Felicia in Friday and seems like a healthy relationship from what I remember

    I just say go in with low expectations. Cameos include TLC, appearances with Bernie Mac and Chris Tucker's debut round out this movie

    Not all that great, but if I had this one to pick from I'd put it on for nostalgia sake.

    This is an entertaining picture that is an average addition to the genre

    House Party 3 (1994) is a movie that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Netflix. The storyline follows Kid about the get married and all the activities that go with it - bachelor/bachelorette parties, managing friend and family dynamics as well as their own insecurities. It will all crescendo at a wedding...if they can keep it together long enough to get there.

    This movie is directed by Eric Meza (The Breaks) and stars Christopher Reid (Class Act), Christopher Martin (Class Act), Chris Tucker (Rush Hour), Bernie Mac (Bad Santa), Angela Means (Friday), Michael Colyar (Norbit) and Anthony Johnson (Menace II Society).

    The opening wedding sequence in this is hilarious and was a good way to set the feel and direction of the movie. It was nice to see so many members of the original cast and Tucker and Mac were great additions to the cast. The storyline was just okay and cliché but it didn't detract from enjoying the characters. Gilbert Godfrey was a fun cameo and I enoyed the other cameos like Immature and TLC.

    Overall this is an entertaining picture that is an average addition to the genre. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
