    They don't need to remake House Party or make another sequel after 3. Let the classics be the amazing classics they are. It's hard to duplicate or replicate that movie magic.

An havin pajama college party was a dumb idea.. Martin wasn't used right the light skin bull stole his shine. They should of had Full Force as ex cons coming out of jail to finish off Kid an break into the college instead of bein security guards at college. They was useless in this one..

    Crazy kart I don’t remember her in none of them movies i honestly thought baby boy was her next movie I don’t think her career suffered but Martin and Trisha definitely benefited way more from the movies

      No more make up. If you at the pics she looks the same. To many eyelashes, to much contouring, eyebrows to high, to much going on at one time. She is still beautiful but less is more.

      Surgery or makeup, she is beautiful. Nothing wrong with little nip & tuck. There is something that most women would change if they could afford to.

    She should have definitely did house party 2' everybody else came back for it & they both wound up being classics. Plus 2 was better than 1 to me. I don't think she could have fit in part 3 but definitely should have did 2
