Editorial Reviews

A revealing look at contemporary youth culture, writer-director Mario Van Peebles' We the Party shows teenagers as they are, not as adults would like them to be. Set amidst the latest trends in music, dance and fashion, We The Party is a colorful, cutting-edge comedy set in an ethnically diverse Los Angeles high school during America's first black president. The film focuses on five friends as they deal with romance, money, prom, college, sex, bullies, facebook, fitting in, standing out, and finding themselves. Evoking such classic teen comedies as The Breakfast Club and House Party but with an attitude and style all its own, We The Partycaptures the hopes, confusion, challenges and dreams of today's teenagers as they plunge headlong into an uncertain future.

3.0 out of 5 stars MINIMUM EFFORT MEANS MINIMUM WAGE August 11, 2012
Format:DVD
Hendrix (Mandela Van Peebles) is a high school student. He works at parties as a DJ to earn money to buy a car. He has done the guy thing and entered into a "first one to loose their virginity" contest with 4 friends. Meanwhile he wants to date Cheyenne (Simone Battle) the Phoebe Cates of this teen movie. Cheyenne's dad (Michael Jai White) is a policeman and won't allow his daughter to date anyone below a 3.5 grade average. Hendrix makes an arrangement to have Cheyenne tutor him so he can get his grade point average up and take her to the prom.

The film also has some party rappers, an up skirt cell phone cam, a school project that interfaces with poor people, and a token 20 year old near thug (Y.G. who pays C.C.) in class. Snoop Dog listed in the credits has a minor role.

Peebles has no problem quoting Malcolm X (just called Malcolm in the film to fool us white folk) and gives a grand lecture on consumerism, aimed at both Hendrix and the audience. The acting and story line were just fine, it just seems to be underdeveloped. Maybe I have just outgrown these films.

PARENTAL GUIDE: F-Bomb, off screen sex, no nudity. 2 1/2 stars

1.0 out of 5 stars This "Party" should have been cancelled BEFORE it began! February 13, 2013
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Mario Van Peebles should be THOROUGHLY ashamed of himself for this scurrilous, misogynistic dreck. I would write a more detailed description, but I figure I shouldn't waste anymore time on writing about it as I did watching it...as I struggled through about 40 minutes before cutting it off. Those looking for a modern take on "House Party" should keep right on looking.

A VHS version of "House Party" is FAR superior to this High-Definition disaster.
