Despite talent drawn from hot clubs and TV shows, comedians Bernice Mac, Michael Colyar, and Chris Tucker from HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam,” young rappers “Immature,” and a female group called “Sex as a Weapon,” House Party 3 didn’t fully utilize its varied cast. The success of each party film depended on the quality of its guests. The material for the series was always ephemeral, but House Party 3 turned too self-conscious about its humor and characters. Kid’s anxieties about matrimony serve cement a vignettish comedy about his his friendship with Play and his disapproving in-laws. Meant as a natural progression to the escapades of the hip-hop duo, it’s about the engagement of Kid to the beautiful Veda (who replaces ex-girlfriend Sydney). House Party 3, a disjointed feature, lacks the genial goofiness and infectious good-nature of the first two films.
