I've been complaining for a while that comedy movies have become extinct. They still make some movies that are part comedy like Bullet Train and Glass Onion, but comedy is always the secondary or tertiary genre. I've been starving for more straight-comedies.
I went into House Party without watching a trailer. I'm really happy I did because it took me for a ride. Finding out the hook during the movie was so much more satisfying than seeing it in the trailer. I had a blast with this movie. It's hilarious and awesome.
Comedy is subjective, so this may not be for everyone. Some people will find it too silly. For me, it's exactly what I wanted. It's the right amount of over-the-top like I love. I was cracking up frequently, smiling the rest of the time.
As for the movie overall, I really enjoyed the experience of going through the story with these characters. There are so many memorable scenes and moments. So many times I shook my head at what I was watching, in the most amused way possible.
It's not even two weeks into 2023, yet I'm fairly certain I found one of my favorite movies of the year. Watch this in theaters so we can possibly see the return of comedy movies.
