Movie Reviews of House Party
Movie Review: I'm going to mind my........business
Summary: 5 Stars
At this point in time you may or may not know about Sid the Elf and the movie choices we make. For the most part we seek out b but always sprinkle in classics that weigh heavy in the sentimental department. There are more then a handful of our personal classics ranging from every genre which leads us to the original House Party. It was one of those we used to pop in VHS style to set off a long evening of happy times. We'd always start with comedy early on saving a nice horror or unrated Movie Channel feature for the later part of the evening. It may not make sense to most, but for us it was the best times which are still talked about on a weekly basis.
For those of you not familiar with House Party we give a brief breakdown of it's comic goodness. The films stars 80's/early 90's rap duo Kid n Play as they set off to throw a big party while Play's parents are out of town. Along the way plenty happens thanks to Kid's angry father, a gang of street toughs from school, and some insanely hilarious dance offs. It's one of those films that could only make sense for the era it came out in which is why we love it. The 80's and 90's just have a certain feel that can't be beat. Now that many years have passed since our last viewing, when it came on t.v Saturday afternoon we figured why not revisit it again and throw it in the review library. For us it's a classic and piece of Sid history worthy of a 5 star rating even after all these years.
Movie Review: This is one party 2 you won't forget.....
Summary: 5 Stars
House Party is heavy!!! The cast are great and the storyline is actually real, something teens can relate to aswell as parents. Kid's dad makes me laugh! I loved when he said "it was so hot in here last night I swear I saw the devil in here!" Full Force play the school bullies and they played it heavy!! There is one line you won't forget, "I'm gonna kick your f****** ass!" Kid and Play's rhyme battle was really good and Bilal....he's great! There is another line you won't forget, "shut the f*** up Bilal!!!" That's repeatedly said by Kid and Play cos Bilal doesn't know when to shutup!!! I like the music and the whole atmosphere of teens wanting to have fun. But the best part is the dance battle between KidnPlay and Sharane and Sidney. It's HEAVY!!! You'll watch that part over and over trust me!!! The whole movie is just great and you'll laugh a lot. It's also great for memories for those who grew up in the 90's, especially the music and dancing. Trust me when I say GET THIS!!! By the way I aint seen house party 3+4 but I've seen the 2nd one. It's not as good but it's good to watch at least once or twice still. But the 1st one...a DEFINITE MUST HAVE!!!Movie Review: Who would want a public enema?
Summary: 5 Stars
Hilarious and best of a trilogy starring Kid n' Play as destined to be rap stars, presently in high school, and planning the "house party" event of the year at Play's house while his parents are gone. Christopher Reid plays Kid and his father (played by comedian Robin Harris) forbids him to go to the party after getting word that he got in a fight at school. Kid n' Play's rivals are played by Full Force who probably made more of an impact in thier comedic roles in House Party than in thier real life musical career. One of the funniest characters is DJ "Dragon breath" Bilal, played by none other than comedic genius, Martin Lawrence in his feature film debut. This film came out before the hit series "Martin" which by the way co-starred Tisha Cambell (as Martin's girl) who plays Kid's girlfriend in House Party. Anyway House Party is definitely for fans of old school rap and Martin Lawrence's style of hilarity. There are many funny performances in this film and Kid n' Play may surprise you with there rhyme skills and sense of humor.Movie Review: Great Hip Hop classic
Summary: 5 Stars
When you check many hip hop heads' movie collection, you might NOT see this movie. The reason why is because they usually have the movie memorized word for word and don't need it to enjoy the classic memories.
House Party is the first of 4 of 5 sequels. The reason why, is because this movie was so much fun to watch. Most people from that time (1990, New Jack Swing era) share the same experiences: the dancing, the quarrels with bullies, the sneaking out of the house, and lastly, the whoopings.
The toughest part of this movie, for new viewers, is the extreme campiness of the film. Fun fact: Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff were supposed to play Kid'n'Play, so that explains a lot. Also, the movie has horrible acting, and cheesy dialog.
However, the soundtrack is great and the scenes can be funny.
Overall, the cult classic is a must have for all movie collectors.
Movie Review: One of The Few Great Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
House Party. The best of the House Party movies. In my opinion, they should've stopped at the first. House Party is about a house party. High school kids getting together to have fun. This movie is soooo funny. From beginning to end you will laugh. You will be able to relate to it. It's a really great movie. It's well written and the acting is good. Sure there's a whole lotta profanity in it, but that contributes to the humor. Makes you just wanna get up and dance. Now the 2nd and 3rd don't even compare. They're downright ridiculous. They shouldn't have been made. But they were so I guess I'll have to live with it. If you choose to see them, that's on you. But just be sure to check out the first House Party. You will not regret it.
