House Party 2 (1991)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Doug McHenry and George Jackson
Cast: Christopher “Kid” Reid, Christopher “Play” Martin, Martin Lawrence
Running Time: 94 minutes



Kid is going to college to fulfill his dead father’s dream for his son, but his education money gets taken by people posing as rap music producers. With his friend Play, he organizes a big pajama party on campus to raise the funds so he can continue his studies.

This is a sequel for the movie House Party, that came out just one year before. It is dedicated to the memory of Robin Harris, who played Pops in the original and died by the time it was released. It is still an entertaining look at a certain era that was not so long ago but that was still much different than today. The clothes, the hair, the music, the dance moves; it is all there. There is more depth in this one, with the part about becoming an adult, but a little bit of the magic has been lost from the original to the sequel.
