The After Party

Seizures aren't a joke? News flash: the entire world is a joke. Get off of your artificial high horse and call this for what it is. A running gag the internet 100% would have had a field day with had this really happened. So just shut up. You're not earning brownie points for pretending to care... ANYWAY. The acting by Kyle was genuine, believable, and honestly pretty damn solid. Verses were solid too. Nothing incredibly groundbreaking, but well-delivered and more than worth hearing. Movie seemed choppy as a whole and there were some loose ends that just kind of faded away, but they weren't going for an Oscar here, folks. A few awkward moments/acting were a bit cringeworthy (even said so in the script), but overall a decent film with some epic cameos. If you have a free hour and a half to spend, there are MUCH worse ways. Wouldn't mind seeing Kyle take on some more roles.

A lot of people that are hating on this movie ,I'm thinking they don't have the perspective to love it I'm part of the younger generation and I made an account to just say that this movie is really good ,the humor is more of awkward humor and has some really good moments and I really loved the cameos and as someone who is aspiring to make it one day in hip-hop I like how there's a message of not giving up and the ending put a smile on my face and gave me abit more hope and motivation

I was so hesitant at first ,, so the trailer , i thought it would be like a cheap sleazy style of some rappers, but i was so wrong, and boy! glad i watched.

The plot is so tight and the script is quick and unexpectedly really funny ,, and in a weird messed up way it tells a nice story about that boy who wants to make it into the hip hop game being managed by his school friend.

the cast did an amazing job,, literally everyone,, the two leads ,KYLE who's a very good rapper in real life and that boy Harrison Holzer, he's really funny. wished to see more of Andy Buckley's comedy ,, he would have been a nice addition if he had more lines.

final thought, I usually don't like these type of movies, like Music comedy but here there was literally just two times where there is "music" and the rest was a nice drama comedy movie ... so recommended , go watch it .

Was not expecting much from this Netflix film. The plot is the typical coming of age/underdog story but for an aspiring rapper. It is of course predictable in that when something bad happens, in the end it will all work out. The comedy is lacklustre and the story feels a little far fetched. It definitely feels a little rushed at forced at times.

The acting by the lead is passable and he's easy to root for. The friend tries too hard at being funny. The After Party reminds somewhat of the Harold and Kumar films. Overall the film isn't great but passable at times for fans of hip hop of this generation. Nothing groundbreaking.

Alright so the story in itself is not really surprising. It would be surprising if anyone is surprised by "twists" or the general progression of the story. Still the actors do a fine job selling their characters and playing off each other. Chemistry works and there are quite a few cameos of musicians (even a short appearnace by DMX for example).

If that floats your boat, you might have fun with this. Especially if you let it play out and just enjoy it for what it is. You might have to be in the right mood for it, liking the music is helping too. Try not to be too cynical and you're halfway there. The movie exist for a reason. It's decent overall.
