Now this could have been good. We haven't had an actual house party movie in almost 30 years, and there's room for improvment and upgrades. However, this film has both too much and not enough going on. The house party the main characters throw is not as fun or enjoyable as one would hope. We've seen some crazy parties on film before, lookin at you Project X, and this one just never reaches the heights it needs to. That and we don't have any party going on until about 45 minutes into the film. I mean, if the set up was interesting or funny it would have been easier to swallow, but it's neither of those things until it gets to the party. Then there's the whole Lebron thing which could've gone in a fun direction, but just came across as mean spirited and made Lebron look like a jerk.
Overall, I only recommend if you really, really want to seen it. It's not terrible, but it could wait til it hits HBO in about 2 or 3 weeks.
