House party
Blu-ray - 2025
In this dazzlingly imaginative teen comedy, the breakthrough feature debut by writer-director Reginald Hudlin, hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play bring their star power to the big screen as aspiring MCs preparing for the party of the year. When Kid's father (Robin Harris) forbids him from attending Play's party, Kid sneaks out anyway, kicking off a wild night full of dance-offs and rap battles, run-ins with bullies and cops, and a bit of romance. With an ensemble cast that also includes Tisha Campbell, AJ Johnson, Martin Lawrence, Daryl "Chill" Mitchell, and members of the music group Full Force, plus a hit soundtrack, House Party is a beloved, feel-good snapshot of early-1990s hip-hop culture that brought Black teenage experi...ence to the mainstream, and that shines bright to this day.
