A return, July 21, 2001
this is a Return to the classic status of the first House Party. this is also By far the funniest movie of the three by far. Bernie Mac was an excellent choice to play Kid's uncle Vester. he looks and acts like the Late Robin Harris. Bernie adds the needed punch that House Party 2 lacked. Anthony Johnson as the caterer puts in some hilarious moments. Michael Colyar as Showboat has the return of the "villain" that House Party 2 lacked. The groups Immature( at the time) and TLC add the charisma and catchy tunes that made the first one classic and the music that House Party 2 lacked( no disrespect to Raphaal Saadiq). An Excellent Movie that you can watch over and over and not get tired of it. This along with the first one will never go out of style. Even Cidney makes an appearance in this film. Lets not forget Reynaldo Rey's performance as Vita's father.......Hilarious as well as Aunt Lucy who must have alzheimers or something as she sometimes spews out mindless lines that have nothing to do with the conversation. Chris Tucker makes one of his first Movie appearances also. A Must See. they definitely went out and left a huge impression as one of the greatest trilogies ever. Again A Must See.

House Party Falls Off, March 27, 2005
This movie was a huge dissapointment. I feel Kid 'N Play peaked with Class Act. House Party I is of course a classic, and I felt it was out done by House Party II (those who say this one is better than that film are our of their minds). This film came out 3 years after that one, so I guess the lack of an immediate follow up may be the first clue that this movie wasn't going to be up to standards. My main beef with this film can probably be contributed to waht was going wrong with hip hop culture at the time it came out. This movie seems slightly more thugged out than the previous House Parties. Those movies had a more pure b-boy feel to them. You can feel the impact of the westcoast gangsta bandwagon in this film. They should've just avoided this and done their own thing reguardless. I doubt this has anything to do with what Kid 'N Play would've wanted, so the blame probably goes on the writer/director/studio. They never got played out as rappers imho. Its just the industry got all messed up by this gangsta bs, and obviously a group with their kind of aesthetic could not surviive. Other things I was dissapointed by was the lack of characters from the earlier two films. Sidney gets a couple of cheap cameos instead of a starring role like she should've had. Other than Kid 'N Play and Pops' photograph, thats all there is that links this to the earlier films. However, Kid 'N Play don't even get a fair shake in this movie because alot of their screen time is stolen by those gimmickly, little midgets, Immature, who I seriously wanted to kick the sh** out of. Bernie Mac, however, is hilarious in this film, as always. Hes one of this film's saving graces. There is also a really funny family dinner scene where the crap hits the fan. Overall though, this movie is boring, unfunny, and lacking the charm of Kid 'N Play's other films. Go check those out instead, only get this one if you're really interested in seeing the duo on screen again.

Great, February 18, 2009
This product was a great buy. The movie is a classic, second best compared to House Party and House Party 2. House Party is the best, but this movie is great. I couldn't ask for more, it reminds me of the younger days when I had no responsibilities and watched this video frequently.
