While vague "new jack" is in its infancy, the insightful Reginald Hudlin concocts this light comedy and sympathetic to ISTRIBUTION by New Line Cinema.
Play (Christopher Martin) takes advantage of the absence of parents to organize a huge party at his house, he warns his two friends, Kid and DJ Bilal bad breath (Christopher Reid and Martin Lawrence). Kid but nothing will take place with ease. He had an altercation with the three big arms (Full strength) of high school and gets a warning. He tries to hide the penalty to his father, Pop
(Robin Harris), but it falls on him and allowed to go to the party . Kid manages to sneak in while his father dozes but the trouble will continue: the big guys of college want revenge and beat him up while two white policemen harass ...
By presenting a short film titled House Party Reginald Hudlin loop studied film at Harvard in 1983. S ept 
years later, produced by his brother Warrington (himself a documentary filmmaker and close independent film), he manages to lead his script and is responsible for carrying out a long the same name. The success in theaters and on VHS is complete and the film generates more than $ 25 million (for an extremely low production budget of $ 2.5 million). The director creates even small gimmicks that in several of his films: here, the father looks on TV Dolemite the cult, or the Hudlin brothers made a brief appearance ... The plot is light, sure. But is the multitude of sketches schedules, descriptions, and the myriad twists of secondary characters who give this movie a definite attraction. Hudlin can give life to his characters and, with the air of not touching it, he mentions the condition of African Americans, particularly young people.
inter-communal violence, police harassment ... but ultimately it is the feeling of wanting to live his life that emerges will easy and legitimate but difficult to access for the black youth of the 90s. Thus, 20 years later, this comedy is even an air of nostalgic story about hip-hop old school (as well as dance, dee-jaying or "battles") and concerns of youth.
This is also the rap duo Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince (in which young Will officiated Smith) who was approached by Hudlin camping heroes. It finally Kid'n Play, composed of both Christopher and Martin Reid, who won the top billing. And the Goblet of Kid will also be required in almost all the wave of urban films, and youth in general. Another "team" this here: the little known but nevertheless prolific producers Full Force (Bowlegged Lou, Paul Anthony, B-Fine) who play the bad boys.
The cast is impressive, as dozens of supporting roles such as John Witherspoon succeed, Tisha Campbell, Anthony Johnson, singer George Clinton, Randy Harris, AJ Johnson, Verda Bridges, Alexander Folk, former footballer Cedrick Hardman, Daryl Mitchell, Gene Allen, Richard McGregor, Irv Dotten ... And representatives of the wave soul: J. Jay Saunders ( Slaughter's Big Rip Off and Cornbread, Earl and Me ), Norma Donaldson ( Across 110th Street and Willie Dynamite ) and Bebe Drake ... Special mention to Robin Harris, who died suddenly broke into promising career with full benefits noticed in only five films: I'm Gonna Git You Sucka , Do the Right Thing, Harlem Nights , Mo 'Better Blues and it.
the success of esteem and respect of revenue, the studios will throw-like-course in the making of a second, then a third component to the film and stops after a final TV version where all the original actors have disappeared.
