Added to the National Film Registry in 2022.

Brothers Reginald (as director) and Warrington (as producer) Hudlin independently produced their first feature together, a teen comedy that finds off-screen hip-hop duo Kid ’n Play (Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin, respectively) attending a rager in their Los Angeles neighborhood, hyped as the soirée of the year. After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, this energetic film was met with near-universal critical acclaim and has risen to the status of cult classic, spawning four sequels and a 2023 remake. The Hudlin Brothers’ lighthearted, wholesome, infectiously fun romp is one of the newest inductees to the National Film Registry screening in this series.
