House Party Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Reginald Hudlin
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
House Party is an infectious, engaging comedy starring the rap duo Kid 'N Play. Kid (Christopher_Reid) decides to throw a party where he plans to blow the roof off the joint with his rhyming skills, so he and his friend Play (Christopher_Martin) throw a huge party while Play's parents are away. The day of the party, Kid is grounded by his father (Robin Harris) and he has to sneak out of the house to get to the party, where he is confronted by several rival rappers, as well as a bevy of adoring girls. Though House Party follows a standard plot-line straight out of the '50s rock & roll films, the script is inventive, providing many different twists and turns, while Reginald_Hudlin's direction is assured and very, very funny. Kid 'N Play are both terrific, but the true standout is legendary comedian Robin_Harris in one of his few screen roles. House Party later spawned two sequels and an animated television series.
