    A vastly underrated movie

    I've never understood why this film is regarded so poorly, even to the point of being dissed on "Martin." While it doesn't measure up to the first two "House Party" films, it's certainly better than most people give it credit for.

    Both Reid and Martin deliver excellent performances, but Martin really shines as Blade Brown, the hood with a well-hidden heart of gold. Lamont Johnson, Thomas Mikal Ford, Karyn Parsons, and Alysia Rogers provide solid supporting roles.

    What impressed me most about this film was the obvious chemistry between the cast members. While I expected it between Reid and Martin, I was pleasantly surprised to see it between Johnson and Ford, Reid and Rogers, and Martin and Parsons.

    I'd say that this is a must-see for Kid 'N' Play fans. For non Kid 'N' Play fans, it can be a fun diversion with some wonderfully funny scenes.

    Brings back memories

    When this movie came out I was just seventh or either grade.

    I can say with all honesty I was probably a mix of Duncan Pinderhughes and Blade Brown.

    Academic, but didn't take no crap off anyone either.

    My wife and I sat down and watched this one when it came on cable a few nights ago.

    It's extremely funny and original in plot.

    I don't know why this movie was met with such poor regards.

    So much so that Kid N Play have been banished from public eye pretty much. Some people view these guys as fads, their time came and went, but I think they just didn't get the credit they deserved. Plus they rapped about things on a positive note, when rap was taking it's harder, more thug based turn. The last acting appearance of Kid was the extremely small part he had in the Temptation's biopic in 1998. Play has left show business and is a born again Christian so I hear.

    The entire chase scene in the wax museum is hilarious.

    The thing I thought was funny was the every major character seemed to have their own "entrance" song.

    Wedge, Damita, Blade...everyone had their own tune whenever they came on screen.

    Something "Friday" would later borrow from.

    Extremely funny and worth a view if you want to travel back to a time when rap was about a little more than killing, smoking and getting "crunk".

    Excellent!!

    A Very Funny Movie!..with an excellent soundtrack, and remind me the good times with Kid N Play!...

    This Movie should have better rank, i recommended this movie to see with all the family and have about 1 hour and a half of fun...

    If you want a trip down memory lane to the flamboyant culture of the early 90's, and a reminder of how it was at school during those terrible teens, then this comedy with Kid n Play and a few other familiar faces ('Doug. E Doug' who went on to do Cool Runnings) ('Karyn Parsons' - Hilary in Fresh Prince Of Bell Air) (Pauly Shore who plays the unforgettable role of the hippy) this film is a good watch.

    Excellent Movie!...

    My all time favourite.

    This is my all time favourite film, so I am slightly biased! The reason I love this film is the moment in time it encapsulates & the comedy throughout is very funny. For me early 90's culture was an intriguing time. From the brightly coloured attire to the strong soundtrack. From Plays car 'Lucille' :)to the rib tickling examples of high school life which everyone can relate to in some form or other. The plot is easy watching, it just rolls along nicely.

    There is an error in the car chase scene which I spotted. Play drives the car into the back of Minks Jaguar & crumples the front of 'Lucille' however in the next scene the front of the car is restored to its former glory :)

    • Goofs
      When Blade is taking Duncan's glasses off and giving him the gold tooth to put in his mouth, the camera switches to Blade taking the tooth out then back to Duncan saying "that's not hygienic" with the gold tooth already in his mouth.
    • Quotes

      [Blade is trying to teach Duncan how to talk slang]

      Duncan: Did you hear me? I said that was stupid.

      Blade: Did you hear me? I said, "Thanks."

      Duncan: Are you deaf?

      Blade: [misunderstood as "def"] Man, I'm the defest brotha on this block!

      Duncan: YOU'RE deaf?

      Blade: [still misunderstood as "def"] That's right.

      Duncan: [turns head] I think Blade Brown is the biggest asshole on the planet.

      [Blade smacks Duncan upside the head]

      Duncan: Hey! You're not deaf!
