House Party

House party the 2023 remake of the very funny 1990 original does have an interesting premise, a high school student and his friend are having a house party at his home while his parents are away, but what it doesn't have in the remake is one thing, the charm, the script and the performances, because the acting is not very good, the screenplay is just useless d.c. Young fly is embarrassing in the role and everything else is just pointless to the t, this is a useless and ill conceived remake of a very good classic, the two actors are no kid and play and don't have chemistry, they are unfunny and have zero to work with, this is a pointless film and is heading on my list of one of the worst movies of the year

stick to the original house party from 1990 and dump this one.

I'd be lying if I said that this reboot of House Party didn't get a handful of really good laughs out of me. But that's about all there was.

At 100 minutes, the movie feels much longer than it is. Many of the same jokes are reused again and again throughout the film, not for the sake of setup and payoff, but for rehashing material, and the humor has diminishing marginal returns as the story trudges on.

This is definitely a stoner comedy, as a great deal of the plot is simplistic while relying on absurdist moments thrown in for shock value. It made me laugh at times, for sure, because some of the visual gags are so unexpected. But there's only so much value in it.

I appreciated the story's occasional attempts at adding character development for the two main friends as they struggle to accept each others' flaws, but this arc is so rushed through that it feels tacked on.

I certainly got enough enjoyment out of this that I don't regret seeing it, but it doesn't have nearly enough good, memorable qualities to make it worth recommending.

This was nothing but a quick cash grab of a mess. Unlikeable main characters who surround themselves with female hood rats that resemble back in the day 42nd street hookers. I didn't laugh once, this is no tribute to the original House Party movies, it's a disgrace. Anyone who gave this disaster good reviews must be huge LeBron fans or maybe his family members.... Oh wow, not enough characters to write this review? I can't come up with anymore things to say about this piece of.... hold on.... What!? I have 89 more characters to go? Please don't waste your time watching this movie unless you need background noise to sleep!

House Party is a sacred hood classic, it did NOT need a reboot, and certainly not this terribly scripted, acted, should have been on Tubi film. I want my time back, and the $19.99 that I paid to stream it. Tosin Cole's character, Damon was beyond annoying, he was almost intolerable. I usually enjoy Jacob Latimore, however his character was flat, one dimensional, and predictable. Don't even get me started on Kid Cudi and that whole descent into the underworld of Hollywood, what even was that, and what did it have to do with anything? Also the three guys who were supposed to be the new brothers (Stab, PeeWee, and Zilla) were too over the top. Don't even get me started on LeBron! We get it, you're great, we didn't need this unnecessary reboot to remind us all of your greatness. It was basically a love letter to himself. This film was abysmal. Leave our classics alone, no one asked for this.

I needed this. I've been watching too many good movies lately. I needed to sit through a clunker.

You know what to expect with something like this. So to call this movie bad wouldn't be fair. It delivers on its promise, kind of. The promise being, try and pull some zany stunt, face some troubles along the way, laughter ensues, happy ending, and cut to credits.

The thing about promises is that, they are hardly ever kept. This movie is no different. It's very clear that the actors tried their best, but they just couldn't hack it. It felt like they were trying to evoke the spirit of the 1990 House Party, and fell flat on their faces. It felt so forced and unnatural, and that projected itself on my TV screen. They tried too hard to mix in the 90s vibe with the present social media obsession.

The one very entertaining part about this movie was the whole Kid Cudi situation. He was just funny, and stole every scene he was in, especially the last scene of the movie.

This movie is a skip. But I could see someone watching this on those days when they are at home sick and need to kill some time.

This gets a LennyReviewz Score of: 2/10.
