        Apparently this movie was popular enough to spawn several sequels. I don't particularly get it. Silly and trite.

        This is a pretty good flick, Great dance and rap scenes during the party sequences. Martin Lawrence is hilarious in this.

        Old school movie! Crazy comedy about High school house parties, with great dance music and more. ;) I loved this movie when I was in highschool.
