Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was originally intended to be released on HBO Max before Warner Bros. decided to give it a 17 day exclusive theatrical release in 1400 theaters due to the studio's restructuring plan on relying less on direct-to-streaming films and more on theatrical releases following Discovery's acquisition of WarnerMedia from AT&T.
- Crazy creditsAt the start, the Warner Bros. Pictures logo transitions to the 1987 New Line Cinema logo which also included the latter label's fanfare.

Featured review
There's just not enough to it.
I'd be lying if I said that this reboot of House Party didn't get a handful of really good laughs out of me. But that's about all there was.
At 100 minutes, the movie feels much longer than it is. Many of the same jokes are reused again and again throughout the film, not for the sake of setup and payoff, but for rehashing material, and the humor has diminishing marginal returns as the story trudges on.
This is definitely a stoner comedy, as a great deal of the plot is simplistic while relying on absurdist moments thrown in for shock value. It made me laugh at times, for sure, because some of the visual gags are so unexpected. But there's only so much value in it.
I appreciated the story's occasional attempts at adding character development for the two main friends as they struggle to accept each others' flaws, but this arc is so rushed through that it feels tacked on.
I certainly got enough enjoyment out of this that I don't regret seeing it, but it doesn't have nearly enough good, memorable qualities to make it worth recommending.
