Do you think if will smith and dj jazzy jeff...


... was in the movie instead of kid n play it would have still been a classic? would they be any better?

Old enough to know better... young enough to still do it

Will Smith would have hammed it up too much. Jazzy doesn't seem like enough of a personality to pull off playing a character like Play. He's better in short, sharp vignettes (like he did in Fresh Prince).

They were the original choice as the leads for House Party but right as they were about to film the movie, Will chose instead to do Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Everything worked out well for all parties.

I've been hearing that Will and Jazz was suppose to be in House Party but that would have been amazing to see. I think it worked best with Kid & Play.

reply

that be some strange alternate universe sh!t right there. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince in House Party, and Kid n Play in the sitcom.

reply

Wouldn't have been much of a buddy/buddy movie which is what made House Party so popular. Will Smith would have dominated the movie. Jazzy Jeff doesn't have much of an outgoing personality like Play.

reply

Definitely not. Both duos are great but, I think it worked out best for everyone involved.

reply

agreed and the battle wouldn't have been good in my opinion. Kid N Play were the right choice.
