1990s comedy “House Party” is back and better than ever with just about the highest stakes you can imagine.
When best friends Damon (Tosin Cole) and Kevin (Jacob Latimore) find themselves completing odd jobs in LeBron James’ state of the art mansion — complete with a self-fluffing couch and a hologram of the king, himself — they jump on the opportunity to throw the most epic house party that will simultaneously provide a needed cashflow for the duo.
Now that they’ve decided on throwing the most elaborate party they’ve ever seen with an exclusive guest list, they just have one thing left to consider: will their party be crashed by its owner?
