House Party is far from perfect but it remains an iconic classic with a groovy hip-hop style that gets more funny with its dated aesthetics.

I loved this movie when I was a kid. Sadly, it hasn't aged well. 5/10

Loved this as a kid. Watched it a few years ago and guess what, it was still funny. Worth a watch.

When House Parties were just about dancing and genuinely having a good time. A staple movie for POC communities. Not excited for the remake.

Good film but it's dated immediately because of the style and music. Worth the watch for nostalgic value and the laughs
