House Party (1990)

hyped garbage

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I like 90's and I watched a lot of movies of this era , so when I decided to watch this movie, I thought it was supposed to be comedy , but it's not ! I watched it until the end ,the whole 1 hour 40 minutes, nothing funny in this garbage . the only thing I found it amusing is the scene when they were dancing but rest of it was so boring .i will give it 2/10 (just for the dancing scene) , although it deserve zero .

I remember when I was in second grade and saw the preview in the theater when I was eight years old but I was too young to watch this flick but I can now rent it since I'm over 18.It was sad to see legendary comedic Robin Harris die after the release of this movie because he had a great sense of humor and was hilarious in this picture.I think all but the fourth movie were great.The fourth one didn't have Kid'n'Play at all and only had the stupid group IMX formerly known as Immature in it who appeared in House Party 3. This will always be a comedy classic for me in the comedy style of Barbershop.

The kid'n'play dance was the thing back in the late 80s early 90s. The new jack swing was at its peak and this movie sums it up. It became a break-through for then young actors Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell. This reminds me of the time when I was a teenager who wanted to sneak out to go to a party and later got caught. I was in the 10th grade when this movie was released and I had a lot of fun during that time with not too much fighting at parties. The bullies played by the R&B group Full Force made the movie more funny with its slapstick humor and the memorable Robin Harris with his witty punchlines. It's sad to see him leave this earth at an early age,and comedian Bernie Mac reminds me of him. I remember he died the weekend of this movie and this was a shock. He could have been one of the funniest comedians in the 90s but his life was put to a halt and made way for several comedians who are now today's superstars (namely from Def Comedy Jam). House Party also remind me of how fun hip-hop was,and back then hip-hop was political,educational,radical,and uplifting. This movie can go down in history as how African-Americans can enjoy themselves with no use of drugs and unprotected sex.

Kid and Play. I used to love watching their movies. This has got to be one of their best that was made. This being one of Martin Lawrence's first is great also. He is as funny as he is now.The guy who plays Pops is also hilarious. This movie is just plain fun and funny. If you have a night where you could use some laughs then you might want to rent this. They do stress the Bad Cops thing alot, but you know, that was funny too. Check it out when you get a chance.
