As High Schoolers we sought big screen representation on how we lived our lives. Whichever matinee we attended guaranteed an escape into the soundtrack, fashion and particular mindset of our designated cliche. But what might be found by venturing outside that marquee demographic? Is it possible you could spot similar points of reference. Or would every close-up be an unrecognizable face? Author Kevin Smokler found it to be a little of both the the day he took his High School self to screen the 1990 Hudlin Brothers comedy HOUSE PARTY. So forget the Sno-caps and grab a seat up front for what he has to say about this.
