    House Party: Tonight's the Night is a terrible attempt to relaunch the House Party serie

    I recently watched House Party: Tonight's the Night (2013) on Tubi. The storyline follows Chris, who is about to leave for college. He decides to throw a house party before he goes as a final chance to hang out with all his friends and to finally tell his lifelong crush how he feels about her. Chris is also an aspiring rapper, so when he hears there's a local record producer in the area, he invites them too. The party gets a little out of hand, which could ruin all of his future dreams.

    This film is directed by Darin Scott (Caught Up) and stars Tequan Richmond (Ray), Zac Goodspeed (Meth Head), Tristin Mays (MacGyver), Keith Powers (The Tomorrow War) and Rolonda Watts (The Stupids).

    Unfortunately, there's really nothing positive I can say about this movie. Everything about this picture is pretty corny, and none of the circumstances felt well-executed. The dance-off, DJ battle, and sexting scenes were painful to watch. The rap battle featured lip-syncing of a prerecorded rap and was brutal to endure. The sexting scene made me uncomfortable. The dialogue is awkward and inauthentic, and most of the film is overacted. Even the music is bad. There's nothing to see here.

    In conclusion, House Party: Tonight's the Night is a terrible attempt to relaunch the House Party series. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.

    House Party theme was off

    This just didn't seem like a House Party movie. The theme has changed from some rich kids trying to have a high school party. Think American Pie. It wasn't a bad movie, it had some entertaining moments but could have been an entirely stand alone movie.

    Favorite movie

    If you like comedy and music this is a movie you would love. And just to say please quit criticizing the movie if you haven't seen it. Plus the actors are really good. Especially Tristin Mays she is so beautiful! So if you say this movie is a waste of time please watch it first. So I'm just saying keep your negative dumb comments to yourself. Don't judge a movie by its cover. My brother is the same way saying its not as good as the first one, but my brother has not even seen the movie yet. It's so disrespectful to make a bad comment on a movie you haven't even seen yet. I own the movie, and I say it is good and funny. You old people are just mad because were young and you all have to be old. It's not are fault you age. So like I said before, keep negative comments to yourself. Please watch the movie then comment before you post a dumb comment. I swear it is a good movie and it is not a waste of time. So watch the movie, and buy it like I did.

    Don't waste your time...

    Wow is all I can say to this atrocity of a movie. My sister accidentally picked up the wrong House Party from a friend so we decided to watch it for Ha-Ha's. What a mistake. This movie was HORRIBLE! The acting was terrible and the you could tell the ending before it happened. I've had my share of bad movies in the past but this one takes the top. I really don't understand how or why someone gave this project money or a chance. Now, I may not be a professional critic, but I can tell when a movie is good and when one isn't. This one by far was a bad bad movie. I am so glad that we didn't spend any money on the DVD. I just regret that my time was wasted. Don't waste your time or money on this "movie" and I hesitate when I say "movie".

    shake my head

    I was so pumped up to see this movie because i have always loved the house party movies. When i finally got to see it i was let down, i couldn't believe that kid n' play would let this movie be made. The two main top actors in the movie are great man and actors but this movie was not for them. The plot of the movie was to simple and predictable and the rest of the cast need acting lessons asap. They try to follow the steps of the first movie but ended with an hell of a epic fail. The movie itself do have some funny parts in it, when watching it it feels as if they try way to hard to get a laugh out of you. But for this new generation this movie may spark their minds. As for us old school folks we can just re-watch the original movies.

    • Trivia
      Rap duo Kid 'N Play, the stars of the first three films, make cameos in this film as big-time record producers, occupations that they began in the third film, which was their last appearance in the series before this film. Unlike the fourth Film in the series, House Party 5 takes place in the same universe as the first three, hence Kid N' Play's special appearance.
