The characters, both Kid and Play through plot development, and the plot itself, in which the Professor Sinclair and Mr. Lee characters are great role models for a young Black man in college, are more socially and culturally responsible than the previous movie and other college genre movies of the same period. A shining example: the well-delivered speech by Georg Stanford Brown about what was and wasn't fair about Kid's having to write a paper and to prove his scholastic ability.

After the success of HOUSE PARTY, I would expect NEW LINE to make a sequel. And I was a little scared, because the first one was amazingly great and this seemed rushed. But what I got from writer Rusty Cundieff(TALES FROM THE HOOD & SPRUNG) and director Doung McHenry and George Jackson made a good, but more silly sequel to a classic. Kid'N'Play are going to college, well just mainly Kid, to leave the world and it's problems. While there Kid learns the lesson of responsibility....the hard way. Play gives the Kid's college money to a beautiful, yet crooked music promoter(Iman). And with Sidney(Tisha Campbell) wanting to see new people, Kid comes to Play with help and come up with a PAJAMA JAM PARTY. Now this one's music is way better than the first one and is a little more funnier than one, but it just dosen't come close as being as great as the first. The hurt comes from two things. 1.)No Robin Harris to give us some more hilarious lines, because of he's death. 2.)Is the cartoon-like sound effects that make the movie just plain silly. Sometimes it works and a lot of times it don't.

This is a wacky little sequel that I saw during 7th grade in class. Lots of forced comedy and wild dialog, but entertaining at certain points. Plenty of my classmates loved it, but I thought it was just slightly better than the first movie. Grade C

These is my least favorite out of the 3 House Parties but still enjoyable and great music wish it was more dancing in this sequel

House Party 2 (1991) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Netflix. The storyline picks up shortly after where the last movie left-off. Unfortunately Kid's father has passed away and he wants to live out his father's dream of seeing him attend college. Play would prefer Kid skip college and help him pursue a rap career. When Kid's college check donated to him by his church is cashed and spent by Play, their friendship and future quickly becomes at risk. This movie is codirected by George Jackson (only movie directed) and Doug McHenry (Jason's Lyric) and stars Martin Lawrence (Martin), Christopher Reid (Class Act), Christopher Martin (Class Act), Tisha Campbell (School Daze), Queen Latifah (Chicago), Helen Martin (Death Wish). Martin Lawrence and the character Pee-Wee are easily my favorite parts of this movie. The storyline isn't overly creative and a bit painful at times and they purposely recycle some of the same jokes and routines from the first film (on purpose but its a bit cheesy). Queen Latifah was a great addition, the soundtrack was excellent and they did do some of the coming of age elements well. Overall this is a must watch for fans of the first one and/or Martin Lawrence. This doesn't have the magic of the first film but it has its own charm. I would recommend seeing this once and would score it a 6/10.

I can't imagine a movie this fun and innocent being made today. It's hard to find a movie nowadays about young African-Americans that isn't full of crude sex or violence. The main plot point of this movie? Getting the money to pay for college. Even some of the positive movies about young Blacks being made today have darker undercurrents--Akeela and the Bee and Precious, for example. Yes, House Party 2 is lighter than air, but it isn't 100% fluff either. There are some political and cultural statements thrown in for good measure. Certainly, this is a film that captures the youthful idealism of the college years. Look at Queen Latifah's character for example. Could you take her seriously saying these things today? No, because that's a phase that people grow out of when they are removed from the artificial environment of a university and have to spend their time dealing with the real world. But in college, it can seem like you are surrounded by people focused on what is politically correct and are always preaching to others, when really, they are just trying to define themselves at a time when they could go in a limitless number of directions. Also, this movies has lots of great music, silly humor, and some fun partying. It's almost a family film, except for the language. Probably most appropriate for high school audiences who aren't offended by the cuss words.

Had a lot of the same type of funnies that made the first one great. I loved the cast especially jamaal, he was a funny addition. This movie also had a lot of powerful messages about going to college and sticking with it. The golden age of hip hop. Loved the cameos.

Kid has lost Pops and the congregation gives a scholarship to him. Play loses the scholarship cheque to con-woman Sheila Landreaux pretending to be a record label talent scout in trouble. Kid's girlfriend Sidney joins him at the school and she befriends social activist Zora. Miles steals away Sidney. Jamal is Kid's white roommate who acts black. Bilal and Play help Kid organize a pajama party to raise funds for tuition. This needs Kid 'n Play to be better friends at the beginning. It's not only Play. Kid is also self-obsessed. Their charming friendship is tattered and that drains the movie of its heart early on. The humor is broad without being funny. The production is distressingly amateurish. It's a struggle but I still like the characters. Even the limited amateur charms of the original has faded.
