Man, I really regret seeing that crap at a movie theater. I'm glad I never saw it again.

House Party 3 is a great finish to the franchise started by Kid N Play. The duo has grown this time out and the film features many cameos by comedians AJ Johnson, Chris Tucker and Joe Torry. Berine Mac steals every scene he's in as does David Edwards.

I don't really care how bad people assume this film is, to me it is somewhat of a classic. Bernie Mac steals the show from his opening scene as the dubious uncle Vester. Always about ten seconds away from losing his temper and revealing his true psychopathic side. This alone brings me and a fair few others close to tears. Add to this Showboat and the cast of ex-con catering and defy virtually anyone not to need picking up from the floor. Hysterics are guaranteed. Not big, not clever and certainly not in any top 100 lists, but a film that gets better each time I see it.

Similar to such trilogies as American Pie and Home Alone, the first House Party was indisputably the best. The second House Party wasn't quite the same but decent still. And then there's the third. After waiting YEARS to watch this film, having seen the first two, I felt cheated and utterly disgusted. It's nothing more than a long music video slash band promotion vehicle, disguised as a sequel with a heavily diluted plot. There were very few funny moments compared to the previous films and Immature, as well as Uncle Vester and the aunt, destroyed the whole film. There are a whole load of other issues I have with the film, but I don't want to give anything away. Do yourself a favour; don't watch it! And knowing this film is tripe, don't watch House Party 4 either!

I've just watched the first two House Party movies, after the specactular HP2 this movie had a rough start. Almost gave up after the first 10 minutes, but it really did get better. It's more serious than the first two, less house party, more "adulty" drama. So I wouldn't say it's as fun as either of the first two, but it's still got the edge that makes it a part of the franchise. Personally HP2 is my favorite, followed very close by HP1 and then HP3. If you're a Kid & Play fan then you'll enjoy more of the same humor as the first two had, it's just that the movie had much more of a "made for TV" feel with awkward cinematography at least during the first third. But by the end I didn't regret watching it. It's definitely not the 1 star movie some people have given it.

House Party 3 (1994) is a movie that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Netflix. The storyline follows Kid about the get married and all the activities that go with it - bachelor/bachelorette parties, managing friend and family dynamics as well as their own insecurities. It will all crescendo at a wedding...if they can keep it together long enough to get there. This movie is directed by Eric Meza (The Breaks) and stars Christopher Reid (Class Act), Christopher Martin (Class Act), Chris Tucker (Rush Hour), Bernie Mac (Bad Santa), Angela Means (Friday), Michael Colyar (Norbit) and Anthony Johnson (Menace II Society). The opening wedding sequence in this is hilarious and was a good way to set the feel and direction of the movie. It was nice to see so many members of the original cast and Tucker and Mac were great additions to the cast. The storyline was just okay and cliché but it didn't detract from enjoying the characters. Gilbert Godfrey was a fun cameo and I enoyed the other cameos like Immature and TLC. Overall this is an entertaining picture that is an average addition to the genre. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

This one definitely lacked some of the charm from the first two but it had its moments. There were a lot of cameos from now famous actors in it that were fun to see. The whole film felt rushed, like they were speeding along with the filming. A worthy part 3 of the series.
