Plot: It's party time, but Kid (Christopher Reid) has been grounded by his strict but loving dad (Robin Harris). His best friend, Play (Christopher Martin), however, cooks up a scheme to sneak him out of th...( read more read more... )e house so he can hook up with his honey at a buddy's house, where it's all going on. Rappers Kid 'N Play are engaging and funny--and entertaining rappers when they get the chance. The real find was comic Robin Harris, hilarious in his own right and solid in this role--but he died a short time later. Look for Martin Lawrence in one of his first film roles as well. --Marshall Fine

    It's been so long since I've seen this movie, but I remember that Kid was too funny. He was as silly as they came (back then).

    Wow...what a stroll down memory lane.

    Way better than Cool As Ice!This movie was to the late 80s what the beach movies were to the 60s, instead of the big kahuna and moondoggy we had kid and play.

    I liked it. This was what you wanted your parties to be like when I was younger. They never were though and it was never as easy to hook up with the girls as this movie made it look.
    There were some really funny parts and a lot of them included Robin Harris. He was a comic that went out early in life but he brought a lot to the small part in this flick.
    Kid and Play were the black Corey's and I liked all the flicks they popped up in even though they were all pretty simple in nature.

    Definitely a guilty pleasure!! The flat tops hahaha only that makes it worth watching! The outfits from the late 80's and early 90's are hillarious and so are the dances! As lame as it might sound the movie actually is cool!

    This is a great little gem of a comedy that was a launching pad for a great many careers (One amongst them would have been the GREAT Robin Harris, but he died shortly after this movie was released). Funny movie.....you could probably skip the sequels though.

    If this would have been released today it would have been laughed at. Too absurd to be enjoyable and that flat top hair cut is SO annoying.

    Energetic, highly funny teen comedy featuring then-popular rappers Kid N' Play, and future "Martin" cast member Tisha Campbell. This was one of the last films the late, great comedian Robin Harris appeared in.

    Kid N Play made this movie what it was. A young (un-famous) Martin Lawrence helped out too with his bad breath. The soundtrack was Awesome. This is just a story of a teenage kid looking to get laid. Sometimes going to house party's is where you will meet that someone. You know he's out to get the skins? None of their other movies top this movie although others are close.

    I LOVE this movie!!! The music, the clothes, the hair-do's take me back. And it's funny especially at the end when Kid gets his ace whooped.
