Review of We the Party (2012) by Aaron C — 18 Apr 2012

I thought this was a very thought provoking story... especially for this genre! A lot of fun, and a lot of heart... I wasn't expecting this much depth from this film, but I was pleasantly surprised, which is a rare experience... I had a similar experience at another high school movie "Girl Next Door" years ago... Anyways "We The Party" has a very good message about the various pressures on young people to measure one's self worth by what they have, or can buy, instead of more appropriately, who they are.

Great casting!... a fun mix of fresh talent and familiar faces! The New Boyz, Snoop, Tiny, Salli Richardson-Whitfield... er'body... Just a fun group to watch.

Just to keep it real, I thought the young men's horniness may have been a little over-the-top, to the point of being a bit degrading for men... the portrayal was one, where clearly young men need to think about how much power men give to women. And on the flip the female lead in particular seemed to be very ideal, almost superhuman...very empowered... and in control, a bit too secure... just a bit much for 16/17 year old.

But overall a good, fresh take on a familiar genre!
