Kid (Christopher Reid) has finally made it to college in House Party 2, but not without problems. Sent to Harris University on a scholarship check given to him by his local church congregation, he finds himself broke before he can even buy the books for his college courses. He can thank his old pal Play (Christopher Martin) for his financial straits, since Play borrowed the money to pay a phony music producer named Shelia (Iman), who has headed off to parts unknown. Kid tries to pay for tuition by working in the college cafeteria but is thrown out because he is not considered a student. Problems compound when his girlfriend Sidney (Tisha Campbell) spends more time studying than with him. He also receives lectures on political correctness from her strident roommate Zora (Queen Latifah). Still, Kid's main concern is finding the money for college. Finally Kid agrees to go along with Play's scheme -- to hold a surreptitious late-night pajama party in the faculty hall to raise funds to pay for Kid's education. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
It's preachy, melodramatic, and takes itself way too seriously...
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Uninspired follow-up to the original comedy
-
Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Vulgar, racially insulting laugh getter.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
You'll laugh, You'll dance!
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
A huge step down from the original; a huge improvement over Part 3.
