arty at LeBron’s” is a dynamite premise for a movie, especially if the King in question is the cheapskate egotist who stole the 2015 romcom Trainwreck as effortlessly as he would a lazy crosscourt pass. But it’s one thing for Judd Apatow and Amy Schumer to caricature the NBA great, quite another for James to take himself down a few pegs and bring one of the more beloved franchises in Black film cinema history with him.
Everybody who’s anybody makes an appearance in this movie as themselves – from Snoop Dogg to the inaugural Black Power Ranger . For screenwriters Jamal Olori and Atlanta’s Stephen Glover, Y2K is still a vibe. House Party’s soundtrack, compiled by Def Jam, is a fin de siècle paean that probably wouldn’t be in rotation with these Gen Z revelers. The film climaxes with the rapper Juvenile performing his strip club anthem Back That Azz Up, a song that dropped in 1998.
