House Party - 3/4

I'm a big fan of comedy with real heart behind it and this was a film I tried to buy on DVD many times growing up only to be dissuaded by the literal packaging of the dvd. Bright yellow with a guy who's hair defies science?! I already own BTTF.

"Black America" is a hugely weird concept in film. It's acknowledging its own minority status but appealing to an immense audience.
House Party is one of the real efforts, it isn't blaxploitation. It's giving a few minutes to a very real moment in time.

Glad it was as good as I hoped, sad it wasn't given full marketing.
