House Party movie storyline. When a pair of down-on-their-luck house cleaners discover they’re assigned to clean the mansion of LeBron James while he’s overseas, they decide to make a life-changing decision to throw a giant party in a quest for immortality and some cash. As the party gets out of control and one of LeBron’s championship rings goes missing, they will be launched into a wild night that they will never forget.
House Party is an American comedy film directed by Calmatic from a screenplay by Jamal Olori and Stephen Glover, serving as a remake of the 1990 film of the same name. The film stars Tosin Cole, Jacob Latimore, Karen Obilom, D.C. Young Fly, and Scott Mescudi. It is produced by LeBron James, who also stars as himself, through his production company, SpringHill Company, in addition to New Line Cinema. House Party was released in the United States on January 13, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
The original classic, released in 1990, followed two high schoolers nicknamed Kid and Play on a wild night of partying at the latter’s house while his parents are away on vacation. Kid is grounded by his father Pops and prohibited from going to the party, but he sneaks out as he just cannot afford to miss what promises to be the party of the year.
A blend of humor, hip hop music, and inventive dance moves propelled House Party to a surprise hit in the 90s. The resultant ripple effect placed hip-hop on a pedestal, bringing the music genre some much-deserved mainstream appeal. A whopping four sequels would subsequently be released, turning House Party into a franchise in its own right. The creative team behind the remake looks like they are confident that the new movie has franchise potential too, and it hopes to achieve this by utilizing the basic themes from the original film to create a different storyline.
