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.
