    Slow start, gets better, but not as good as the first two.

    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.

    Nice

    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 😎

    It was cool when I was a teen

    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.

    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.

    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.
