sometimes it be funny to watch film implode from your couch and but other time it be just horribly painful to both your eye and your mind . house party 4 represent down to the last minute be one of those rare example of when both your eye and your mind be plead with you to turn the film off . this final installment to the house party series be by far the bad and not just sequel and but film release by hollywood . it become very apparent early on in this feature that director chris stokes love ferris bueller day off with a passion . i say this because it become very clear that stokes have no trouble lift the originality of bueller off john hughes hand and choose to create a film completely void of humor . you would think that by steal theme and image from a funnier film and your own film would at least be able to generate a giggle or two . with house party 4 and stokes prove that he do not have what it take to direct a sequel and much less a hollywood film . from his confusing and choppy story and the inability to make sense of his character and and recycle old or tired cliché moment and all stokes be do be hit a big nail into the coffin that hold the house party film . it remind me of that student that forget about his project due in an hour and quickly slop together super glue and macaroni and cat hair and chew gum and and straw and present it a hannibal cross the alp . it just look horrible and you feel embarrass for the creator . so and where do this film first take the plunge into the realm of comic stupidity . honestly and i do not think that most place will allow me to speak that long and so instead i would like to hit upon some of the large topic that hit me the hard . to begin and i still can not shake the ferris beuller rip off . it be a if director stokes be ashamed of have to direct another sequel to house party and decide to bring in a completely random formula ( from a funny film ) and see if he could cut and paste element from the original series into that formula . that be a huge mistake . when a director try to do this and what eventually happen be confusion within the audience . we think that we be go in one direction and but instead we head in another one . that be exactly what you can witness in house party 4. in one instance we have john john try to have the big party of the decade while also try to score a record deal ( ok and kinda reminds me of the original house party ) and but then we whisk away to this random island where uncle charles be afraid of fly and grandma get drunk and and some idiotic mind dull moment with a suppose killer . again and we begin somewhat strong and and end chaotic . this be the confusion in which i speak . director stokes do not have the ability to keep his hand on either the pulse of humor or the ability to tell a sequential story . he would rather cut corner and keep the joke cheap and and think that the audience be idiot than attempt to revive a stone dead series . one would think that when a director be hand that task of film another house party film he would walk into it think that he or she would be the one to revive it or bring it back to life and instead stoke just want to get pay . i realize that i be slowly grow old a the day go quickly by and but i do believe i still keep my hand in the young generation culture . i listen to rap and r and b grow up and but the group immature never make it to either my cassette deck or my cd player . why . i do not think they ever quite have a following and but apparently to director chris stokes and it would be beneficial to cast them a lead in his new house party film . didn not anyone at any studio realize that this be go to be in the red rather quickly . or how about the option to have stokes himself play the comedic car repairman and nothing like a director with no sense of comic timing cast himself a the only source of possible humor . it be one of those few instance when i actually miss robin harris and and i never think i would find myself say that to any film . outside of a go nowhere band play the lead role and i also think that the remainder of the cast only continue to suck the life out of this film . uncle charles be annoy when he attempt humor . kim whitely be completely waste for her scene ( both literally and figuratively ) while well everyone else pretty much fall into that category . where do chris stokes spend most of the budget for this film . not for special guest star because while this film may have boast some and there be definitely none present at the unforgettable house party and nor the possible dream that perhaps kid or play would make one final appearance . house party 4 follow no preset design and which ultimately ruin this feature from the foundation down . can anyone explain to me why there be any need to use the escaped murderer who happen to be a licensed taxicab driver routine for humor . stokes be reach deep within the bottom of the barrel and only produce more muck instead of substance . for once i can admit to there be no redeem value to this film . house party 4 bury the series and and while i do hear that there may be more in the pipeline and i only hope hollywood realizes that this series have die . hollywood need to let this series end and forget about the past and move forward in the future . i think a sequel to who the man . would get them start in the right direction . grade represent out of .
