New Line Cinema should have been happy with the free publicity and called it a day.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Also as part of the settlement, New Line presented a few scripts to JJ & FP to see if they would like to star in them. Jazzy & Prince passed on all of them...including House Party! How crazy would that have been?
DeleteI loved this song. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat song, especially during this time of the year.
