Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
Animenter There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Underclassman" is not a particularly memorable or impressive movie. It is sort of a clone version of "Beverly Hills Cop" mixed with "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air". Now, you might think that it would make for a good combination, so did I. But the movie doesn't offer anything new or innovative that hasn't already been done or shown in the aforementioned titles.The story is about a reckless undercover police man named Tracey who is sent into a private school to unravel a stolen car ring.Story-wise, then "Underclassman" is adequate, just don't expect to be blown away by anything overly impressive. If you enjoyed the aforementioned titles then you will enjoy this movie to some extend. I just thought that this movie was a bit weak.The acting in the movie was good, though. And it was nice to see Cheech Marin in the movie. Just a shame he didn't have more time on the screen. I bought this movie because of Kelly Hu, and was disappointed with the short amount of screen time she was given, especially when she was on the front cover of the DVD movie.This is the type of movie that you will watch once, bag and tag it, and only to forget about it as it collects dust on the shelf.
SG-1-Atlantis-Fan I won't give anything away about the film but it does not deserve the bad ratings it has It's a great film and very funny. Nick Cannon was really good in it. Anyone who loves comedy movies like the Naked Gun movies or the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy should go and see this film Of course I'm mostly talking to people in the UK here as I don't think it's been released yet. I got the DVD from the US and I'm glad I did.. But please don't take all the bad reviews you have seen in papers or on the web because it's a film you will probably like to see at least once. OK it might take some things from different movies in place but everyone does it. For example I was watching Knight Rider season 1 on DVD today and I realised that a clip that they had used I had seen in one of Christopher Reeves Superman movies! so big deal if they took bits from other movies, who cares as long as you enjoy it? Right?
Ivan Kostadinov I'm really upset at the rating for this movie? Why so low? I didn't really like Nick Canon(SP?) until i saw Wild N Out, and that didn't really do much for me either, but in this movie he is good. The plot is about Canon, being a bike cop and wanting some more respect. He eventually gets an undercover job posing as a student to try to solve a car/drug mystery. Everyone said that he was a horrible actor, has bad comedic timing, but thats not right. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It brought you comedy and action, the two prevalent factors in watchable movies these days. Canon has that kind of comedy where he is trying to be funny, and succeeds.
janet_yurkovic After reading the other comments and seeing that it got only 3 stars, I was not looking forward to seeing this movie. But my 14 year old son and his friend, as well as my 11 year old son, wanted to see it so I took them. The movie was actually much better than I expected. It was an action film that was very exciting, had some good chase scenes, and had good character development that had me rooting for the main character to succeed. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. This is a good movie even for kids as young as 11 if my younger son is any indication. He said he would give the movie 7 stars and my older son and his friend said they would give it 7 or 8 stars. They all liked the action.
