I saw this movie on Superchannel when there was absolutely nothing else on.
The synopsis was something like "Teenagers have a party in the kitchen when
their parents aren't home". I thought, "that sounds lame, kinda like 'Can't
Hardly Wait'". I watched it anyway. During the first few minutes I thought
it was a little slow, and prepared myself to be bored out of my mind. Then
the movie got going.
Finally, a good Canadian movie!!! I had no idea it was Canadian, until
about half-way through, when I realized that none of the cast had
accents!
Anyway, on to the movie itself. Such a great little film. It completely
brought me back to my high school/college days. The characters were REAL -
they didn't seem like they were reading scripts or trying for laughs. I
didn't feel like my emotions were being fooled around with. This is an
HONEST movie.
The acting was really great (I thought). Each character was very well
developed.
The ONE problem (very minor) I had with this movie, was the fact that the
parents of Scott and Steve were so anal about keeping their carpets perfect,
yet they did NOT seem like those type of people when they were out with
their friends. That part just didn't gel for me.
But, aside from that very minor set-back, I really liked this movie. I
can't say enough good things about it. It was so ON. A REAL movie that
actually describes the feelings that go with being a teenager, old enough to
move out of the house, but STILL living with your dreaded parents. I can't
recommend this movie to enough people.
After seeing this movie, I've GOTTA go rent "Suburbanites".

Probably one of the more subtle, original, realistic but no less funny
flick
about what happens when ultra-tight-ass parents go out to a dinner party
and
leave the son at home. As the title denotes, this film does involve a
kitchen party, and the young actors in the film play it out with such
deadpan realism that it could pass for a documentary. Accurate, timely and
biting. A fine example of how to make a movie about teens alone in a
house.
I was as surprised by this gem of a movie as I was by its low rating on
IMDb. It's great Canadian teen flick, with the style of a Kevin Smith
film.
A good, low-profile cast and a simple, real storyline deliver a quality
movie experience.

There isn't really a whole lot to say on this one.Other then the fact that
it is unique. Teens(like me) probably would prefer Can't Hardly Wait, as
it
is what were used to, and its got a soundtrack and everything, but this
one
actually has characters that arn't just at a party they've all got
stories.
8/10

This film about a group of teenager doing a little forbidden party. Mainly
the movie is very interresting for it's way of it makes his character talk.
We can easily find the major themes in the movies : generation problem,
drugs and gun and perhaps family. The uncool kid is the very first
character of his kind (never seen that way of thinking in any other film).
He is like the teller of the story, doesn t do much, doesn t miss much
neither. He is the morality of the film basically. If you like to see how
it is like to be a teenager in our days I really recommand you this movie.
Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did for it's truth that he is saying.

Speaking as a 33 year old, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie
about a group of highschool students having a party. This setting of a
group
of teens having a party at friend's house took me back to my highschool
days. It was so incredibly real that it could have been any one of the
parties I attended in my school days.
I also got a lot of laughs and thought the script was wonderfully
interesting.
Two thumbs up for a project well done! Anyone who has ever partied in their
lives, should definitely see this one. And Scott Speedman! What a doll, if
only I were 10 years younger!
Highschool party in repressed household, 16. September 1998

Intercuts between high school kids at one home, and typical wasp parents
drinking at dinner party, which leads to a crisis for all concerned. The
satire of white middle class life is old hat, and the teen life presented
was done much better by same director in previous, debut effort - The
Suburbanators. Skip this, and catch that one instead.
