Review of We the Party (2012) by Tree J — 26 Mar 2012
I caught a screening of this at USC. I was pretty excited because I like YG, the New Boyz and Snoop. The music was awesome and the acting was better than I expected. Director/Producer/Writer Mario Van Peebles pushes the idea that smart is the new gangster, and as lame as that sounds, it works here.
I doubt this will win any awards, but the message is solid and it's a fun movie. It's definitely for a younger audience, but for what it is, it's great.
At times the dialogue can be a little preachy and the action predictable, but somehow I was perpetually interested in what was going on. The pressures of high school are something everyone can relate to as is the partying life of a high-schooler...although these folks do it much better than I ever did.
It's not hard to have fun at this movie.
