What is the movie about?


There's no plot identified. Does anyone know?

Found this:

“We The Party” is a cutting edge hip-hop infused dramedy about the first generation of high schoolers to come of age during the Obama years. The film features some of the latest teenage bands and dance crews.”

Hmm... cutting edge. Yet it's "infused" with (I think this means "has a soundtrack of") hip-hop, which isn't exactly a fresh or new movement in music. That they used the neologism "dramedy" is embarrassing and problematic. Dramas are not devoid of comedy, and comedies are not devoid of drama. Calling it a "dramedy" is hedging, fear of committing to one or the other, and a sign of weak directing.

Featuring the latest teenage bands and dance crews is probably the best reason to stay away. Wait until they get seasoned and more skilled. Latest never means greatest.

just a slice-of-life tale of high school kids, and not nearly as bad as the low rating it's given on this site. it's your average high school comedy, but viewers on this page have given decidedly worse teen flicks higher ratings, what gives? it's not that bad, typical, but not bad.

I'd love to actually see the movie because it's not being released where I live (South Florida).
