I was so pumped up to see this movie because i have always loved the house party movies. When i finally got to see it i was let down, i couldn't believe that kid n' play would let this movie be made. The two main top actors in the movie are great man and actors but this movie was not for them. The plot of the movie was to simple and predictable and the rest of the cast need acting lessons asap. They try to follow the steps of the first movie but ended with an hell of a epic fail. The movie itself do have some funny parts in it, when watching it it feels as if they try way to hard to get a laugh out of you. But for this new generation this movie may spark their minds. As for us old school folks we can just re-watch the original movies.

Don't waste your time...
brandonmclean062616 September 2013
Wow is all I can say to this atrocity of a movie. My sister accidentally picked up the wrong House Party from a friend so we decided to watch it for Ha-Ha's. What a mistake. This movie was HORRIBLE! The acting was terrible and the you could tell the ending before it happened. I've had my share of bad movies in the past but this one takes the top. I really don't understand how or why someone gave this project money or a chance. Now, I may not be a professional critic, but I can tell when a movie is good and when one isn't. This one by far was a bad bad movie. I am so glad that we didn't spend any money on the DVD. I just regret that my time was wasted. Don't waste your time or money on this "movie" and I hesitate when I say "movie".
Not good
fernandezanibal1 July 2018
This is the white washed post High School Musical era version of House Party mixed whilst also trying to be American Pie.
Everyone is too attractive, no one seem to be from lower socio economic families unlike many characters in the original series, the dancing is overly coreographed, it sticks it's nose up to actual hip-hop and you honestly don't care what happens to the characters.
Just watch the original or Project X for a better party disaster movie
Forced advances aren't funny
rabyella2 November 2021
Having a grown woman assaulting and grooming a barely legal boy since he was young enough to start elementary school "I've been waiting for him to grow up" isn't funny, it's pedophila. If she was a man and Chris was a girl people would be angry. Which is really sad that most people don't take assault seriously because he's a guy. Either way it's traumatizing and should NEVER ever be played for laughs. It's obvious looking at this movie the writers have no creativity, humor, or drive. This movie relies on stereotypes and tropes that have been overused and were never funny. The fat girl character ( because let's face it that's all the depth the writers gave her ) was completely useless, unfunny, and added nothing to the story. I would rate this movie a 0 if I could. How on earth could Chris actually fix a hole in his wall in less than a day? ( He couldn't ) Where did these teenagers get all the fancy DJ equipment? Most teens are broke and almost all parents would never buy that expensive of equipment, even for themselves. The main girl being in a relationship with someone she doesn't like just to make the male protagonist look better is another trope I'm sick of seeing. Why was Autumn in a relationship with Quinton if she didn't like him? How couldn't she tell Chris liked her before the end of the movie? This movie isn't even so bad it's good it's just a time waster. It was a difficult chore for me to make it to the end.
The most pointless movie ever
Jcup82527 July 2013
This movie is made by some crazy clueless people. This is the dumbest movie ever and it isn't worthy of the House Party name. I think my eyeballs might break if I have to roll them again. If this is portraying todays youth im tired of living on Earth. Why why why why why why why why why why? How is this funny to anyone? Uninspired crap. Please stop making crappy movies based on good movies. House Party isn't even that great but this is a shame on its name. This movie is on an endless loop in Hell. Poop. Poop Poop Poop. This really is my review for this terrible movie, it doesn't even attempt to be smart or entertaining so neither am I. The actors don't even seem into it. Please don't make another one. This movie is so stupid. FIN
House Party theme was off
welhof14 January 2021
This just didn't seem like a House Party movie. The theme has changed from some rich kids trying to have a high school party. Think American Pie. It wasn't a bad movie, it had some entertaining moments but could have been an entirely stand alone movie.
Not worth your time to watch!
mr-roboto-kilroy29 August 2013
A agree with the other review. The original "House Party" with actors/rappers Kid and Play was not the best movie in the world, but at the time it was a fun movie for that age group. This movie is cheaply done with no production values. Acting is pathetic! It's like you are watching a HD video from someones phone of a high school student's audio visual project. It's not funny...anywhere! I want to know who I should talk to get the hour and a half back that I wasted of my life watching this! I wasn't expecting much, but was still disappointed! How do people like this get the funding/backing/money to produce these garbage movies?
House Party Five? More like House Party ALIVE

This film is visceral. This film is energized. This film is shocking, This film is a winner. I'd seen the other installments in the House Party saga, and found them to be decently entertaining but contrived films that declined in quality as the series progressed. With this in mind, I'm sure you can understand my trepidation in agreeing to spend my time and money on this picture, but a perceptive friend of mine talked me into it- and boy, am I grateful. Right from the opening scene, I could tell that this was my kind of film. The performances from those two actors were so real, so gritty- achieving a significance the first House Party fell short of realizing. The cinematography left me agape: lush vegetation surrounding suburban homes one could only call the epitome of visual perfection captured with beautiful attention to details of light, shadow, and angle. The cameo from Kid 'n' Play shocked me- my friend had to ask me to calm down and gave me a Valium- but once it set in I realized that I found the scene quite heartwarming. I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for Mr. Scott's next picture. With this film, he has breathed life into a dying franchise, and I couldn't be more thankful, having recommended this underrated gem personally to all of my Facebook friends. I hope they don't screw this up with the next installment. Here's hoping for a new generation of insightful, heartwarming, and beautiful House Party films. Remember everyone: avenge Gotham city!
Not my type of House Party

Favorite movie
realgeneshawn6 December 2013
If you like comedy and music this is a movie you would love. And just to say please quit criticizing the movie if you haven't seen it. Plus the actors are really good. Especially Tristin Mays she is so beautiful! So if you say this movie is a waste of time please watch it first. So I'm just saying keep your negative dumb comments to yourself. Don't judge a movie by its cover. My brother is the same way saying its not as good as the first one, but my brother has not even seen the movie yet. It's so disrespectful to make a bad comment on a movie you haven't even seen yet. I own the movie, and I say it is good and funny. You old people are just mad because were young and you all have to be old. It's not are fault you age. So like I said before, keep negative comments to yourself. Please watch the movie then comment before you post a dumb comment. I swear it is a good movie and it is not a waste of time. So watch the movie, and buy it like I did.
A star in the making

Going in, I wasn't sure the world really needed another House party especially after the founding stars had moved on. While this movie recycled the same basic plot it still had it's bright spots.
A nice boy vs Girl dance battle with the highlight without a doubt being the makeshift girl gun exclamation with smoke affects.
The film stars the little brother from "Everybody hates Chris" but the one who shines through and steals the show is the personality of Tristin Mays (Autumn) with some epic lines and scenes. She's a scene stealer for sure and for sure one to keep an eye on.
Relaxing movie to entertain you on a chill evening
