Synopsis
Adolescent knaves Kid 'n Play -- two handsome homeboys from around the way -- are planning the ultimate house party. There's only one hitch: Kid's super-strict dad forbids the star student to do anything but study. So he sneaks out of the house and over to Play's to get in on the fun. But to get there he has to dodge two hardened hoods from high school just itching to kick his butt; redneck cops cruising the 'Hood in search of a punching bag, and his irate old man who's angry Kid left the house in the first place. If he can clear these hurdles, he'll make the party in time to rock the mike and jam with a few of the buxom black beauties he and Play have invited to their lair.

Industry Reviews
"...Effervescent....The [actors] bounce and weave through HOUSE PARTY with the high spirits of performers in a live concert..."
Canby
"...A catchy, often hilarious teen-age sex comedy....The breezy self-assurance carries it along....The charm comes from a number of sources: the actors, the brassy camera style, the new territory being tapped..."
