This definitely deserves a spot in the "cult classic" category. A truckload of jiggy dialogue would have greater impact on serving to a limited audience without mass hysteria. The funny moments ensue the lack of horrid raunchiness, making this aged film a step above CAN'T HARDLY WAIT. I hate to go back to the first time I entered high school. That's when hair-dos styled inches high made life miserable. HOUSE PARTY is good if you like to go back to those wild days. It isn't bad for the comedy, for which Kid & Play did best at it. Just don't complain about the expensive power bill that shows up after you've wasted a good 100+ minutes on a relic that been way past its prime.
