disdressed12 this is the second film from writer/director Gary Burns,the first one being The Suburbanators,which i have yet to see.i liked it quite bit.it took me awhile to warm up to it,but once i got into it,i really enjoyed it.the characters and situations come across as pretty real.many people can probably relate to some of the characters and the situations.the acting is very good.the dialogue is often funny.the film reminded me style wise of Clerks by Kevin Smith,except it's much funnier and more clever,than Clerks was,i think.i loved the ending.it was perfect.overall,it's a pretty decent 81 minutes or so.for me,Kitchen Party is a 7/10

jason.fiorotto 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.

kclark-7 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".

jaggm 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!
