Now this could have been good. We haven't had an actual house party movie in almost 30 years, and there's room for improvment and upgrades. However, this film has both too much and not enough going on. The house party the main characters throw is not as fun or enjoyable as one would hope. We've seen some crazy parties on film before, lookin at you Project X, and this one just never reaches the heights it needs to. That and we don't have any party going on until about 45 minutes into the film. I mean, if the set up was interesting or funny it would have been easier to swallow, but it's neither of those things until it gets to the party. Then there's the whole Lebron thing which could've gone in a fun direction, but just came across as mean spirited and made Lebron look like a jerk.

Overall, I only recommend if you really, really want to seen it. It's not terrible, but it could wait til it hits HBO in about 2 or 3 weeks.

The original had heart and some decent laughs in some really funny situations. Kid N Play we're perfect and that movie was just perfect with its supporting cast. Many of those cast members went on to the Friday franchise and relied on humor not stupidity. The music was great and that movie's director went to direct Eddie Murphy's Boomerang.

No clue why they messed with an already perfect low brow comedy that worked. I guess LeBron figured if he puts his name on something it sells. Well, that might work if what he's doing is any good. First he screwed up SpaceJam and now House Party. I gotta quit giving his "entertainment" a chance when it simply sucks.

This time around the director is Known for music videos and is out of his league making movies. This is basically one long music video that relies on its two leads who I guess are real life rappers. They break into LeBron James home and decide to party by inviting everyone. Yup, a multimillionaire's home, in a well to do neighborhood gets invaded by folks we're supposed to believe will have no issues blending in to a wealthy community. Um ya

Anyhow there were a few chuckles and some decent music but not enough to carry 100 minutes. Instead it's like watching a pimp my ride or mtv cribs episode. Even the music just isn't original enough to capture what the 1990 movie had. Im all for a remake, but it's got to be better than the original. Save your money with this one.
