  Classic old skool comedy
  
  This is a must for any fan of old urban comedies. Great film that moves along at a nice pace.
  
  Get this then get House Party 2.

  House Party
  
  Not much of a story line to this film but has some funny moments. Whilst watching the film it had its ups and downs but still worth watching
