House Party 2 is a 1991 American comedy film and the second in the House Party film series. Kid 'n Play, Full Force, Tisha Campbell, and Martin Lawrence reprise their roles from the first film, with Iman, Queen Latifah, and Georg Stanford Brown joining the cast. There are guest appearances by Tony! Toni! Toné! and Ralph Tresvant. It was directed by Doug McHenry and George Jackson, and written by Daryl G. Nickens and Rusty Cundieff.
In contrast to the original, the film places less focus on the party aspect of the plot and more on the characters' personal lives, from dating to education and career ambitions. The party this time is a college pajama party rather than a high school house party.
House Party 2 was released in the United States on October 23, 1991, and grossed $19 million on a budget of $5 million. A further sequel, House Party 3, was released in 1994.
