⭐ 4/10

I never watched these films (from what I remember at least) in the 90's, I did used to watch CLASS ACT with Kid N Play over and over though so not sure why...

Perhaps the title made it sound lame, not much for parties so a whole movie about just that didn't seem that intriguing maybe.

Anyhows I did decide to watch it today and I must say I wasn't really impressed, it simply wasn't very funny. Not even Martin Lawrence who I usually find hila… read the rest.
