House Party 3 (DVD)

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.

I cannot express the hilarity that is House Party 3. A gem of cinematic greatness which should be recognized as one of the best blaxploitation movies of the mid 90's not to be outdone by "Friday". From the introduction of Stinky to the amazing Uncle Vester this movie will have you in tears and only gets better from multiple viewing. If you don't know about Angina Williams or the greatest culinary minds which make up Ex-Con Catering you need to buy this movie. Believe me you will not be disappointed

i really like this movie

My favorite movie!

Good

Loved the movie. Great 80s classic!

I forgot how funny this movie was. As usual Bernie Mac and Reynaldo Rey may they both R.I.P. took the show in the dinner scene. I laughed until I cried.

loved it more than the 2nd one.

great film

Very good quality for how old it is. Very happy that someone actually had this movie in working condition.

Funny film and must seen film. Watch the first two before.
