House Party (2023)

Submitted by TheJrobot2000 t3_124onp6 in movies

Turned it on randomly just because i was in the mood for a stupid movie. And I was right, it was stupid, had some bad writing and acting, but it was also the most absurd and ludicrous movie I think I’ve ever seen and I thoroughly loved it. Like it’s not gonna win any awards but it was a hell of a time. Anyone else have the same thoughts?

I honestly loved it. It was dumb fun, but it made me feel the same way as I did watching stuff like How High or Friday back in high school...mightve honestly been because of the new line cinemas title card at the beginning but there was something nostalgic about it that made it feel like comfort food. Cameos were awesome, and the story was absurd. As a 34 year old dude I really enjoyed it. 16 year old me would have raved about this as a CLASSIC tho. 😄

But yes, it definitely gave me How High vibes, with a new school twist

After seeing they'd made a remake, i refused to watch it out of love for the originals with kid n play. Is it really worth watching?

Honestly, didn’t know it was a remake. I thoroughly enjoyed it but I’ve never seen the original so 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mostly loved how ridiculously off the wall it got as it went on.

Well i highly recommend that you watch the originals along with class act which also stars kid n play

I was mostly not a huge fan, but I did think the climactic scene >!where a character plays Lebron one-on-one and gets absolutely destroyed!< was really funny.

>! I was totally expecting him to be able to hold his own or make a comeback but he just got fucking owned, it threw me off but then I thought, “nah, there’s no way he ever stood a chance.”🤣 !<

I saw the preview and wasn’t sold but I’ll probably watch it eventually. I’m a big fan of the original. I wish they had kept it as high school kids, House Party is the black Superbad. I don’t think mansions and NBA players is going to improve the story any

Like I said in another comment, I didn’t even know there was an original so I don’t know how it stacks up. But other than that, I think it’s worth watching. Even without seeing the original I can tell you that it’s 100x more absurdly ridiculous than the original haha.
