My complaints about this movie are similar to my complaints about the 4th movie. The whole thing is offensive and dumb. As I was watching, I realized it was made like a hybrid between a YouTuber-made film with the awful humor of those parody movies from the late 2000s. House Party as a franchise at this point was cashing in on the name and basic premise, but without the genuineness of the characters. The first 3 movies, while not perfect, were bearable to watch and grew on you as you watched them. These direct-to-video movies were lazy. I will say, the toilet gag was pretty funny in this one. While not as bad as the 4th movie, this one is still a poor imitation of the original.
