House Party is a 2023 comedy movie directed by Calmatic starring Tosin Cole, Jacob Latimore and Karen Obilom.
House Party is a remake of the movie directed by Reginald Hudlin in 1990. This time around, the screenplay is written by Stephen Glover (emblematic creator and star of Atlanta) and Jamal Olori.
This is a remake that looks exactly like a remake and which does not want to fail the original, is so faithful to it that it lacks a justification for being made in the first place.
About the Movie
House Party is likeable, just about, pleasant in an average way and well done, with inteligent rhythm and lines. Is it better than its predecesor? This is a good opportunity for those who do not know the first version, to watch this humdrum story that (relatively) changed the way in which movies were made in the Nineties and which now, with the same features is equally “enjoyable”. Not at all original at any rate however.
A film that does not invent anything nor wishes to do so and, as is the case with almost any comedy, bases itself on the inspiration of its actors who don´t let one down nor do they fail in its spirit.
Our Opinion
Unnecessary, yes: just about enjoyable too (if you haven´t seen the first version, we insist).
