House Party

watchable

While it's admirable that "House Party" attempts to bring something new to the table, the execution ultimately fails. With little creativity, shallow humor, and unengaging characters, it's difficult to recommend this film. The colorful costuming and moments of charm from Tosin Cole are not enough to save it from being a forgettable and unremarkable comedy.

I have no experience with the original but I also don't hate this. It's a very basic comedy. Comedies really only need to be funny and they're a success, and I won't sit here and say I didn't laugh a few times. I was enjoying it more than other people up until the Illuminati part, which was terrible. Why was that there? It would have been okay had the rest of the movie been that level of zany, but it wasn't. Seemed out of place.
