If they get caught it’s all over. If they don’t, it’s just the beginning! Hip hop duo Kid ‘n Play star in a vibrant, raucously entertaining comedy written & directed by Reginald Hudlin. When Play announces he’s hosting the hottest House Party in town while his parents are on vacation, nothing is going to keep his best friend Kid away, not even being grounded. But sneaking out of the house is going to lead them on the wildest night of their lives, not to mention one of the greatest dance contests ever caught on film. Featuring a slammin’ soundtrack and hysterical supporting performances from Martin Lawrence & Tisha Campbell, legendary comedian Robin Harris, and the R&B/hip hop producing/performing group Full Force.
“House Party captures contemporary black teen culture in a way that’s fresh, commercial and very catchy.” – Variety
“House Party has the light touch, rude wit and immediacy of rap as improvised by someone in top form.” – Vincent Canby, The New York Times
“Catchy and unobtrusively assured, it’s both hip and innocent, stylized and natural, charming its way through a conventional hey-kids-let’s-have-a-party plot with bright comedy, great dancing, and on-top-of-it rap.” – Jay Carr, The Boston Globe
