Where to Watch House Party
- DarlingInThePlexxMay 4, 2025Watching this again with my nostalgia glasses on and this holds up quite well. Some of the joke are. Teeny bit flat but kid n play have great screen presence and the music is great! It’s a fun time and worth dusting off once in a while for a watch. I can still do the kid n play dance!
- cultfilmlikerFebruary 12, 2026I would have loved this when I was 11 Wasn’t ready for the Criterion logo lol Key & Peele as a team has to have this in their top 4. I feel like Pee-Wee might be their favorite character of all-time lolol The DJ at the black tie dinner reminded me of Kiddy Smile Was it really played as a joke that the cops were going to go have their way with the “street” dudes?? Smh Also “Prison Cell Blues” did NOT age well
