We the Party Ratings & Reviews
CraveOnline
Witney Seibold
I have to admit there is something kind of disarming about its corny earnestness. Van Peebles clearly invested himself in the material, and damn it all if he wasn't going to wring that screenplay for all it was worth.

[VIDEO] There are a few moments during writer/director Mario Van Peebles's overly didactic high school drama when you can almost glimpse the good film buried beneath all the artifice.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
Every time it dabbles in real-world teen issues like sex and drugs, it returns to a fanciful high school where kids quote Nietzsche and play acoustic guitar on lunch breaks.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Initially promising teen comedy-drama, featuring African-American kids not in the ghetto for once, soon undermines itself in a welter of clichs and empty gloss.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Mario Van Peebles' self-produced project comes frustratingly close to his high-minded aims.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Heavy-handed teen drama mixes moralizing and partying to uneven effect.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A good-natured high school dramedy that borrows from many others...
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
With the raunch of "American Pie" and the heart of an after-school special, the comedy turns out to be a lot less than the sum of its parts.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Van Peebleses ... populate the movie, and all are serviceable enough as actors; it would be nice to see them in less earnest, more original material.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A colorful but superficial mess.
RedEye
Matt Pais
Joining two overweight characters in a relationship just to make a joke about them enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet hardly qualifies as progressive, intellectual comedy.
AV Club
Alison Willmore
How to resist a film in which one kid taunts another by quoting Mo'Nique's monologue from Precious?
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Despite its flashy cinematography and colorful sets, it contains a great deal that is serious about growing up in America today.
Variety
Robert Koehler
The pic feels like a quickie knockoff between major projects, offering the writer-director's handsome son Mandela and other younger Van Peebles loads of screentime.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
Van Peebles's heart is probably in the right place, but his attempt to wed his kids' generational moment to a classic coming-of-age template falters in its message-obsessed execution.
AALBC.com
Kam Williams
Unfolding like a 21st Century update of African-American coming-of-age classics House Party (1990) and Love Jones (1997), We the Party might very well come to serve as the seminal adventure capturing the angst and aspirations of the Millennial Generation.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
While We the Party can be insensitive, or blind, to the misogyny and homophobia of the general culture (the token gay teen is a finger-snapping, head-bobbing fashionista), it takes the issues of race and class quite seriously.
