Kid (Christopher "Kid" Reid) is taking the plunge and marrying his girlfriend Veda (Angela Means), while his friend Play (Christopher Martin) is dipping his toes into the music business, managing a roughneck female rap act called Sex as a Weapon. Play books the ladies for a concert with heavy-hitting promoter Showboat (Michael Colyar), but when they decide to fire Play and hire a new manager, he has to figure out how to deliver them to the show or face the wrath of Showboat's female security force. Play is also in charge of arranging Kid's bachelor party, but while he's setting up a bash to end all bashes, he discovers that his three younger cousins have just arrived in town, and Kid's former flame Sydney (Tisha Campbell) has shown up hoping to put a halt to the upcoming nuptials. Multi-platinum rap act TLC appear as Sex as a Weapon, while Play's cousins are played by the members of the R&B group Immature. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
There isn't a single laugh to be had...
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
The weakest film in the House Party series
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
The party's over. This film feels more like a hangover.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Nope, not even bad enough to be the final installment.

Bernie Mack makes an appearance and steals every scene he was in. Other than that this series is a little played out at this point.
