While it might be all in good fun, there's no way in hell a dorky pasty white teenager would be able to sneak into Atlantic Records. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
The After Party is a "one crazy night" movie. It's a buddy movie. It's a coming-of-age-movie. Unfortunately, it's not sure which one to focus on. Go to Full Review
Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 08/28/2018
2/5
Movie about aspiring rapper has drugs, nudity, and language. Go to Full Review
Dan Jackson Thrillist 08/25/2018
The soundtrack might feel sourced from Rap Caviar, but the narrative structure is lifted from the '80s and the early '90s. Go to Full Review

Arthur B 11/05/2024 I never actually saw this movie, not that I would anyway, to think that any good, respectable professional producer would conceive of the idea of a movie that mocks a Grand Mal Seizure to the point of turning it into an actual dance, like that of “Soldier Boy” is appalling. To mock and make fun of the Developmentally Disabled from Epileptic to Autistic to Down Syndrome to Blind or Deaf is wrong and should never be considered entertainment in modern American culture this movie should have been panned and thrown to the scrap pile not to see the light of day.. anyone with compassion and common sense would have to agree See more 05/31/2022 It is a movie that just makes you lose interest See more 01/10/2021 Whack. This movie had the ability to be good but really didn't perform. See more 06/14/2020 For what this movie was, it was excellent. I wasn't expecting much, but I throughly enjoyed it. See more 05/28/2020 Filmed in NYC. This movie is hilarious! Definitely for a more mature age group of teens to young adults. About two regular aspiring male high school students who are trying their hardest to become famous rappers. After one crazy night #sheezaboy becomes legendary! See more 01/26/2020 This movie is a fun time. It's nothing great but it entertains you and isn't long, so it's an easy watch. A few run rap scenes and some unexpected cameos made it enjoyable.
