I really enjoy watching Jason Mewes doing what he does best...which isn't so much acting as it is lending his persona to this project or that project in the form of some previously agreed-upon lines. I think he's a funny guy and wanted to see how he did in a non-Smith project.
He did about the same as he does -in- a Kevin Smith project, they just gave the character a different name...but I've got no quarrel there.
The movie itself...well, I barely got through it. It swiped plot from all over the place, from Hitchcock to Clue, the board game. It also reminded me of a very badly-done play I saw in college in which the murderer was also obsessed with Leopold and Loeb...that's right, L-O-E-B, not L-O-B-E. I had trouble getting through that play as well.
Was it just me, or did American Psycho and other such current movies factor mightily in this as well? I kept getting American Psycho vibes.
Anyway...if you're a fan of Jason Mewes, by all means watch it to see him. Otherwise, if you're looking for a good horror film, your money's best spent elsewhere.

As one of the commenters here noted, sundance is usually inundated with gritty depressing films. R.S.V.P. is certainly not one of those. The same person said there were many clues throughout the film that hint at the surprise ending. To say that there were "clues" is an understatement. At every juncture the film screamed its torpid theme.
The film alludes several times to an underrated hitchock flick called "rope". Despite the allusions, the film doesn't even come close to Rope's level of philosophy, morality, or thrills. Instead it borrows a couple ideas, mixes in a few of the cheesier elements of mediocre American thrillers (see "Scream") and comes out with absolute boredom.
There were a few elements that could have made this film great. The allusion to rope could have gone farther and actually translated the film into a modern adaptation. One element that has changed since the time of rope is the perceived value of "fame". The film touched on this, but didn't carry anything through. The thing that could have been done right was translating the fame into a postmodern context. The killer claims he wants fame, but he tries to setup the professor as the culprit for all the murders. This could have actually been an excellent concept if the film had decided to take into account the two realities it exists in, namely: The reality of the film, wherein the professor would take the blame, and secondly the reality of the film as watched by the audience, where the killer could find fame without cost. Indeed, this would have been a clever concept that perhaps would have carried this over into the intellectual genre. Instead, the director has his character act inconsistently and later claim that he wants to be pursued by the FBI "because it's part of the game". The result is that the killer comes off as an absolute idiot, which is unfortunate because our interest has been staked in him being clever enough to pull something entertaining off.
To go back to the comment that this film is so unlike the rest of sundance's depressing flicks, I'm going to have to disagree. This having passed for an intellectual thriller is several times more depressing than boys don't cry.

R.S.V.P. is Hitchcock's Rope meets Scream meets American Psycho...with a touch of Jay and Silent Bob. I was leery about renting this one for the longest time because of Jason Mewes. I knew I couldn't take it seriously, but then I thought "Hey, I won't take it seriously." It turned out to be an average dark comedy. But I was right about Mewes. 30 seconds into his first screen appearance he says "B*tches", makes some sexual references, and pulls out a phat bag of weed. Good ole Jay. I thought maybe he would try to do another character, but I'm sure he was hired to be himself. Along with Mewes, the rest of the cast is quite good, with newcomer Rick Otto impressing me the most. The late Glenn Quinn also deserves mention and I'm sad to see that this will be his last role. Director Mark Anthony Galluzzo showed a lot of promise here and I hope to see future endeavors from him. R.S.V.P. is a decent slasher satire but I felt it was missing something from making it a real keeper. I believe it was the ending that left a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well, it was a decent rental. You could do a lot worse.
College student thinks he has the perfect chance to get away with murder so he invites over everybody that he is close to and decides to murder them all off just for the thrill of it all.
Another over exposed, over hyped horror flick from the 2002 - 2003 period. The only thing that seperates this from the droves of other horror films is the angel from which the story is told. See, the viewer knows who the killer is the whole time and the suspense lies in wheater or not he will be caught and also wheater he will be able to finish what he set out to do. However, this isn't enough to make this mandatory viewing. The film is done with style and everything about it looks handsome, but the climax is a real dud. It's far too talky and preachy.
Rated R; Violence, Profanity, Mild Sexual Situation.

Nick Collier (Rick Otto) is a student of criminology, who has never completed any achievement in his life. When his teacher, Prof. Hal Evans (Glenn Quinn), discuss serial killers in class, Nick invites his friends to a party in a penthouse and kills each one of them. "R.S.P.V." has the intention of joking with Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope". However, this parody does not work, having a very silly screenplay, being watchable and forgettable. The party is in a building as if there were no neighbors to listen to the shootings and screams. It is funny calling Jason Mewes of "actor". His character "Terry" has the same behavior of "Jay", using drugs, smoking grass and speaking bulls*** all the time. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "R.S.P.V. Confirme Sua Presença" ("R.S.P.V. Confirm Your Presence")

- WissenswertesMajandra Delfino (who did all of her own stunts) can indeed actually fit totally inside a Sears Kenmore Oven.
- PatzerWhen Jordan climbs the ladder to the roof, closeups show her wearing flat/sneaker type shoes. Before and after, she is wearing boots with large square heels. This can be seen both times she climbs up to the roof.
- Crazy CreditsAt the end of the credits there is a quick shot of Hal opening his eyes after he was believed to be dead.
- Alternative VersionenIn the original version, there was a whole sub plot about Hal Evans (Glenn Quinn) also being a serial killer and there being a whole rivalry between Hal and Nick but test audiences found this too confusing and all the scenes were subsequently removed but can be found on the DVD. This information gives more significance to the final shot at the end of the credits.
