Van Peebles’ new teen movie is an edgier ‘House Party’

In his new movie, “We the Party,” Mario Van Peebles has created a different type of teen movie. It has the fun, hijinks and high-energy music that you might expect from a film in that genre, but what sets it apart from other teen movies is the raw, incredibly accurate dialogue and an acknowledgment of serious issues in an engaging, non-preachy way.
