House Party (I) (2023)
2/10
You don't want an invitation to this party
25 January 2023
I needed this. I've been watching too many good movies lately. I needed to sit through a clunker.

You know what to expect with something like this. So to call this movie bad wouldn't be fair. It delivers on its promise, kind of. The promise being, try and pull some zany stunt, face some troubles along the way, laughter ensues, happy ending, and cut to credits.

The thing about promises is that, they are hardly ever kept. This movie is no different. It's very clear that the actors tried their best, but they just couldn't hack it. It felt like they were trying to evoke the spirit of the 1990 House Party, and fell flat on their faces. It felt so forced and unnatural, and that projected itself on my TV screen. They tried too hard to mix in the 90s vibe with the present social media obsession.

The one very entertaining part about this movie was the whole Kid Cudi situation. He was just funny, and stole every scene he was in, especially the last scene of the movie.

This movie is a skip. But I could see someone watching this on those days when they are at home sick and need to kill some time.

This gets a LennyReviewz Score of: 2/10.
