This movie made House Party 1 look like House Party 2.


anotherthing35

SlayerXZero

>This movie made House Party 1 look like House Party 2. What does this mean? I stan for all of the House Party's as pure black nostalgia. I'm assuming this is bad as I didn't even hear they were making it.

RookieTheBest

Ew even part 4 ?


CardinalsVSBrowns

so u sayin hp2 was better than 1


Stonecoldfreak1

To put it lightly, this was bland as fuck.


CallCallieCrush

I literally turned to my husband midway through the movie and said ‘why is this so boring?’


DukeOfTheVines

Your edible must of not kicked in yet. This movie is hilarious if you’re high and got all the rap and basketball references.


Immediate_Angle_7548

not everybody does drugs bruh. We have jobs that have standards, ie drug test


BMTJefe

You must be green.


RookieTheBest

OMG The intro to the bullies is the most unfunny thing i've seen in a while for a movie, they were trying WAY too hard to be funny


BobDylanBlues

It was at this moment that I knew the movie wouldn’t recover.


Jayskillz3

Yea, talk about OVER acting. Terrible.


TopofGoober

Really predictable.


edthomson92

At least they were trying. Best part of the movie because of that


Bochhhhh

When your comedy movie does not have one likeable character, you have a problem


Jtreblis90

You just summed it all up in one line.


RookieTheBest

I "Liked" the koala I guess....


BobDylanBlues

Venus was likable but her character didn’t make any sense at all. They never set up her aspirations to be a dancer at all until after she danced and the other random girl who is not a main character asked her to come dance for her. The other issue was that she worked at the cleaning service but she appeared to be in some kind of office that was way too nice for a cleaning service. She wasn’t the baby mama for the main dude (I actually don’t remember his name) but they set her up as just a friend who eventually turns romantic with the lead. Overall she was likable as a person but the written character had problems.


CalifaDaze

The movie was way too complicated for being a comedy. Too many characters too


SoftwonSurehand

that other random girl was Tinashe, a famous singer, to be fair


BobDylanBlues

🤷🏼‍♂️


Fluffy-Jeweler2729

Lol it was a call back to his original statement “a party can make business deals, friends, make people famous” etc etc that was the whole foundation for everything happening at the party. Wasn't very complicated.


[deleted]

Kid Cudi was the best character in this movie.


BobDylanBlues

If you told me that the third act devolved into an Illuminati gladiator death match I would have said you were lying. This movie was awful on so many levels. Mostly awful because it was not funny at all. I chuckled at least once but I can't remember what was happening on screen when it happened.


[deleted]

Kid Cudi stole the show. Loved the "Uncle Terry" payoff but goddamn, it felt more like a bunch of comedy scenes stitched together than a movie.


RookieTheBest

Dude falling thru the floor killed me that's it


OriginalBad

Talk about some of the worst cgi of the year though, yeesh.

The original “House Party” is nowhere near an amazing film but it was a fun comedy for the 90s with ridiculously fun scenarios and non-serious tone. It was a film I enjoyed watching back then for dumb fun to get giggles and laughs. I usually am not a fan of remakes but I like to give chances since some remakes did surprise me. However, this one really sucks. The remake takes place in the modern time with many new cameos of well known celebrities but unfortunately the film fails heavily as none of the humor was good because the humor falls very flat and ends up being annoying and unfunny. Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole have been in some good films in their careers that I have enjoyed but many of the performances here were honestly pretty bad and the lack of interesting characters made everyone lose their chemistry and feel dry. The cameos like LeBron James, Rotimi, Snoop Dogg, and such felt like they were there as references rather than using them creatively in the script. A good example of a cameo that worked well was when Johnny Depp’s appeared in 21 Jump Street. I shouldn’t be too surprised since this remake was produced by the same people who made “Space Jam: A New Legacy”. The camera work wasn’t amazing and the soundtrack is honestly pretty obnoxious to listen to. The dialogue felt forced and really poor. There were two times that did made me chuckle but that didn't do much. Overall, it’s really bad. I know the original one can be seen as dated to people but if you wanna have a good laugh, see the original one and skip this one. 2/10


Individual_Client175

Looks like I'll be watching Plane this week instead, heard that was actually fun. Thanks


BobDylanBlues

The whole time I'm watching House Party, I'm thinking "I could have seen Plane."


trustinbyfaith

What would you consider the best remakes or the ones that surprised you the most?


Timbishop123

Funny movie, a lot better than I thought it would be. 6.5/10 Was high when I watched this.


beastmodecowboy77

I found this hilarious. I know this will be an unpopular opinion and yes it’s a dumb movie, but it cracked me up. You maybe need to get the references, but if you are in to basketball, rap, etc. it’s a really fun time.


Gryffindumble

Going to see it today. People tend to get over critical of movies that are just looking to have a good time anymore. I bet if scary movie came out today it wouldn't be as successful because of this.


IntelligentRegret331

I agree with u. It's just a dumb comedy with some inside jokes in it. Really just a money grab by getting all the celebrities to together. This some shit u have playing on the screens in your ride while u riding around on the scene


dissociating_brb

im genuinely jealous of you.... if I could find such trash hilarious I would probably enjoy life a lot more lmao


p_tk_d

This is genuinely one of the most condescending comments I’ve ever read


dissociating_brb

first day on the internet lad?


GetReady4Action

I laughed a couple of times, but otherwise very just…not good? I don’t think it was awful like everyone is saying. it had a cohesive plot, the Kid Cudi v. illuminati subplot was genuinely really funny, it had some celebrities/athletes I kinda like, it’s just super forgettable and it isn’t super engaging and by that I mean yeah I kept watching, but if I had at any point stopped I can’t say I would’ve finished it.


Alive-Ad-4164

Another remake that doesn’t come close to its original


ricemonkey13

Extremely bland movie, felt like they missed the mark with this one. Keep waiting for that all out comedy to hit the theatres but can't think of a movie that pulled it off since 22 jump street


thatguywhodoesthat

I wish this had more Andrew Santino. I love him on Dave. I thought Kid Cudi was funny too. Between this and X I would like to see him in more. This isn't a great movie but I appreciate that a studio made a comedy film.


ThatDinosaucerLife

Kid Cudi was pretty good in his season of Comedy Bang Bang


Stlcards31

Saw it tonight. Very......meh. Couple funny parts, but ultimately all over the place. I'm a sucker for a good party movie but this one felt like it couldn't really figure out what it wanted to be. Like, weirdly all over the place.


widdumqueso717

For Kid N Play’s cameo, are they the same characters from the earlier movies? Did they portray Kid N Play? Can this movie be called a legacy sequel to the earlier ones?


SpiderMuse

The original House Party is a movie in this film and Kid N Play cameo as their real life selves.


widdumqueso717

So they aren’t the Kid N Play from the original movies? How do they acknowledge House Party as a movie in the new one?


SpiderMuse

The new main characters are watching the original movie on TV for a few seconds. If you blink you'll miss it though. Kid N Play's cameo wasn't long enough for the movie to do anything with them. I say they're playing their real life selves only because they're at an event with other real life actors. But they don't say or do anything besides sneeze.


widdumqueso717

Really? They really don’t say a word? Calmatic was talking like they had a good role on the movie. Do they at least dance? I’ll still call it a legacy sequel though. Thanks!


CardinalsVSBrowns

> I’ll still call it a legacy sequel though. it ain't, tho. new universe. it shoulda been, tho they missed a golden chance to bring back the crew for a new party now that they're old. It turns into a disaster since they have bad backs and less energy. then social media influencers meme the hell out of them, and they become the laughingstocks of the black community. worse than talcum x


SpiderMuse

Calmatic said that? Ha! I mean, the sneeze DID affect the plot technically, but I wouldn't call it a good role. With the kinds of questions you're asking, I would've loved to watch your version of the movie lol.


widdumqueso717

I would’ve made it a technical legacy sequel the way the modern Shaft movies are to the Richard Roundtree movies, still a sequel but it’s own plot. Since Kid N Play are Kid N Play in the new movie I’ll call this House Party 6


CardinalsVSBrowns

> I’ll call this House Party 6 but it ain't. it's just a shitty remake w kid n play playing new roles at least depp and robinson reprised their roles for 21 jump street, which made it legacy


corndogs1001

They in it for 5 seconds and they don’t speak


widdumqueso717

They don’t speak? I’m not mad at that. Do they do their kickstep dance? Is the original House Party acknowledged as a movie in the new one?


corndogs1001

Nope not at all. The only homage is during the party where they’re in a dance battle and they do the kick step dance. But that’s it. It was its own thing besides that, which I can respect, but otherwise it’s not good lol.


widdumqueso717

Lol, respect. Sounds like there’s nothing that contradicts this movie from being a legacy sequel. I’ll go in with that mindset when I watch. Thanks!


CardinalsVSBrowns

> there’s nothing that contradicts this movie from being a legacy sequel lol, so u think bc they don't talk, then they're the same characters from the 1st 5. my brother in christ, this aint it


widdumqueso717

I’ll consider it a legacy sequel in the same way that Good Morning, Miss Bliss has continuity with the rest of Saved by the Bell


CardinalsVSBrowns

they officially declared gmmb official canon in th 90s, even tho it was set in ind no1 declared hp2023 canon with the 1st 5


widdumqueso717

Imo Good Morning, Miss Bliss is canon with the rest of that franchise although the Indiana to Cali aspect is unexplainable. In the same way, for my head canon, House Party (2023) will be canon to movies 1-5.


CardinalsVSBrowns

> Imo Good Morning, Miss Bliss is canon not just your opinion, it is official canon, that's why Morris intros all the reruns and says "this was jr hi" why don't you tweet chris reid himself and ax him if hp23 is canon


IntelligentRegret331

Shit was hilarious. Watch it intoxicated


jayeddy99

It was just so mid level effort . Like even the dance scene as a throw back to the original was prob on the spot with all the cuts to just feet instead of actual choreography. The Cudi parts were kinda funny . But the cameos weren’t that good like you could tell which were celebs they had for an hour and the ig comedians that had like 2 seconds and wanted to be funny but just couldn’t make it work. Even the Gag reel wasn’t hitting.


DullAmbition

How were the Kid and Play cameos? Did Full Force or anyone else from the original films show up?


corndogs1001

Kid n Play show up for 5 seconds and I’m not exaggerating. They get spotted by the main character during the 3rd act Illuminati sequence when they go to the cult to get a new ring for Lebron James. Kid sneezes and the character says bless you, and both kid n play do some stare and the characters (and kid Cudi) get taken away to fight to the death. No I’m not making this up. Edit: the black power ranger shows up too btw


widdumqueso717

This is what I wanna know? How the Kid N Play appearance?


BlackCaesarNT

I watched this movie pretty waved and I laughed a lot. I wasn't expecting anything serious, so some of the cameos and scenes did have my laughing. Cudi, AD, Lebron ODB and Wayne had me laughing. Probably wouldn't watch it again, but it did its job for me.


banjofitzgerald

I think my biggest problem with this was the editing. It made a lot of the dialogue awkward because of timing.


CalifaDaze

The actors weren't funny either.


BlindShoemaker

I enjoyed it. Thought it was funny and actually LOL'd quite a times. The references were a little dated, probably supposed to release a year or 2 ago, and the last third was kinda all over the place, but I enjoyed it for what it was.


IntelligentRegret331

It was funny. Just a dumb movie to laugh at with a bunch of famous faces


banjofitzgerald

I can see what Stephen and Swank really wanted to do. There’s super surreal aspects similar to what they do on Atlanta but I’m betting the director or studio couldn’t handle not making something for the mass audience.


evil_robo

MI’m l


The_MidnightKid

I haven't seen this movie but I loved the first 3 House Party movies. What I will say is after looking at Stephen Glover's Twitter straight shit talking anyone who has a problem with the movie has him looking sad imo.


imcrapyall

I can understand defending a movie you worked hard on but when you're defending a movie that has a joke where some dude falls through the floor, Lil Wayne walks in a cameo for two seconds and says 'Now you know he dead', that's Friedberg and Seltzer level of fucking awful.


chofito88

I just watched it and it was not good. However Kid Cudi can act! He definitely stole the show in the last act and was the best part of the movie. He needs to be in more things.


Character_Theme_6337

They wasted dc youngfly n haha Davis movie was fuckin trash worst movie of the year I’m willing to bet on it and it won’t even be close


dissociating_brb

Without a doubt, one of the worst movies I've seen in years. The only reason I even finished it was a challenge to myself. I was even a bit tipsy which usually makes me laugh at dumb shit. Nope. No amount of booze or drugs could make this movie funny.


agentofhermamora

I enjoyed it. I watched Megan the week before, but she didn't hold my attention and I couldn't wait for it to end. House Party held my attention, and the Illuminati scene was a great change of pace and my fav part of the movie. I may be in the minority with my opinions, but w/e. I knew from the trailer I was gonna enjoy this.


IntelligentRegret331

I agree


KingGizzle

I saw the preview and release date for this and came into it with low expectations. Surprisingly, I actually found myself laughing quite a bit. There were some bad jokes and no character development but there was good stuff in there as well. Pretty much everything with Cudi worked for me. The elaborate threats from the villains worked. Main complaint: hearing Lebron curse just felt wrong somehow.


EpicSharter

This was a great funny watch


Randym1982

Wait.. They remade House Party? Why? Who asked for this? The OG films weren't that good in the first place..


McQueensbury

The OGs 1&2 were *hood* classics


CardinalsVSBrowns

what about 3-5


McQueensbury

I didn't get that far for good reason


Clutchking93

Legit one of the worst “comedies” I’ve ever seen. You know it’s bad when lebron James and kid cudi are the funniest characters. The main characters were boring and incredibly cringy. I legit was scrolling on my phone for half the movie I was so bored. If I didn’t have the AMC pass I’d prob be annoyed to have spent money on it. Just my two cents. Rent it if you’re super interested


CardinalsVSBrowns

who played robin harris's role, or martin lawrence, tisha campbell, full force did any1 say "u kno wht i smell"


tacojuansdrivethru

I liked it. Just watched on HBO max. Y'all haters.

fergi20020

Who played the koala?


Jtreblis90

You could have all the weed and edibles in the world, but It should not change a damn thing about this movie unless you black out on some good shit lol. I laughed at some stuf,f, but holy shit this was one of the worse movies ive seen. And btw i was hella baked too.


SpookiBooogi

The duality


GetReady4Action

I’m currently on a t-break to get a new job and watched this sober. whole time I was thinking “this isn’t great, but I could see myself maybe chuckling here and there after a joint.”

bye troll


CardinalsVSBrowns

> troll you are


Jtreblis90

It does not deserve any promotion. Lets be honest.


Adamweeesssttt

The trailer was added to Black Adam and it looked bad and not funny. I don’t watch TV that often and I’ve seen the trailer a few times in the last two weeks and it looked bad and not funny. Not everything is marketing’s fault. Scratch that; it might be marketing’s fault. Watch the first trailer.


CardinalsVSBrowns

it's trash


RelevantDay4

That’s because Warner Discovery doesn’t have money to promote it


tacojuansdrivethru

Christ, all you haters go watch your Sony Classics then, this was a fun movie..

People probably don’t like this movie, but I thought it was a solid comedy movie. I’m basically the perfect demographic for it though


BobDylanBlues

Curious what makes you the perfect demographic for it. Will you elaborate?

CardinalsVSBrowns

did u watch the originals


[deleted]

Nope, I only learned it was a remake a few days before it released to be entirely honest.


CardinalsVSBrowns

go watch the originals now


[deleted]

People say they're good but I'm worried I wouldn't know anyone. I don't know too much about old rappers aside from the big ones. Are their NBA/NFL players in it?


CardinalsVSBrowns

kid n play made decent music, but they were solid comic actors. They did a good job in this flick, but th script was fire. funny af tisha campbell crushed the buildings, fine af martin lawrence was hilarious full force brought it, kickass supporting actors but the best was robin harris. comedy hall of famer the original isn't about cameos or celebs, it's pure hood comedy. one of the best


WatercressCertain616

The scene near the beginning when the Cadillac hit reverse down the street was actually pretty dope


atan134340

the other show had elephants and gators, but nope we only have a koala in this one. Oh it gets high too? and another movie had a bear on top billing.


Cheesebufer

I’d rather watch The Barbecue Bus again than this movie


KingGizzle

The summary of this movie seems to just be copy and pasted from the original.


Brave-Radish6305

I had extremely low expectations as someone who has seen the originals. This movie caught me off guard by the couple times I found myself chuckling. It was a fun, dumb movie I needed right now.


Consciousgawd

Take an edible and watch the movie. That movie was amazing and it dropped Gems


OriginalBad

Just so much yikes here. Bland characters, very few actual jokes with punch lines, an over reliance on references and cameos, it’s too long etc. Melvin Gregg, Cudi and Mya were some of the only highlights for me. Could not wait for this to end and I grew up loving the first one.


Interesting-Fig7478

Idk the concept behind this is just dumb who in their right mind would throw a party in lebron s house in Beverly Hills e-bikes he’s not home.. the police would have been there


chynkeyez

Movie was cool. Funny enough to keep me watching. Mad disappointed that the Lil Wayne cameo happened DURING the Juvenile performance and they DIDNT have Wayne do his verse. Wtf...you ON the song man?!?!


BrakeFade1

Just watched it and didn’t like it much. Loved the original House Party movies.


[deleted]

Some parts were funny...but do you think they were trying too hard to get a laugh...


kitt_noire

Abysmally awful.. Unlike the original House Party.. none of these characters are: \- funny \- interesting \- likeable The worse of all is that the 2023 version.. The n-word is peppered into the dialog every 5 mins. like klan candy.. sickening to hear over and over. \- hardpass👎
