The less imaginative and weaker 1991 sequel turned socially conscious and preached for education among black suburban teenagers. The pleasure-loving, upbeat original “House Party” contained comic highlights and hilarious mishaps about a watchful father, vicious dogs, inept cops and neighborhood bullies, all obstacles to Kid’s attending Play’s latenight jam. Kid’s anxieties and fears of matrimony serve as weak glue to a loosely structured comedy composed of uninspired vignettes about Kid’s management company, his lifelong friendship with the now threatened Play (Christopher Martin), meeting his disapproving in-laws, and so on. Meant as a natural progression of the escapades of the hip-hop duo from the ‘hood, new installment revolves around the engagement of Kid (Christopher Reid) to Veda (Angela Means), his beautiful fiancee, who replaces ex-girlfriend Sydney (Tisha Campbell).
