WIL SMITH WANNABE
Added 12/4/2008
Well, if this isn't a Wil Smith wannabe effort (ala Bad Boys) I don't know what is. Nick Cannon may have a little talent (and I stress a little) but how did that skinny guy get Mariah Carey?! Certainly not based on THIS movie. Mariah aside, this is just a bad movie. A bad Bad Boys recreation, that only makes Wil Smith look amazingly talented by comparison.

Not as bad as they say...
Added 7/12/2008
I disagree with most of the Amazon reviewers. I thought this was an interesting little movie. I disagree with most of the reviewers who say this is unwatchable and say it is trying too hard to be Beverly Hills Cop. I didn't find Cheech Marin's character as the Captain as hard and abusive as the Beverly Hills Cop capt/inspector. Besides, to me, Cheech Marin elevates any project he's in. I disagree with those who say Nick Cannon was unbelieveable as a high schooler. He was actually more believeable as a high schooler than he was a cop. And to the reviewer who says that Cannon should have steered clear of this project and others that call for him to be a student just because of his real life age... that doesn't matter because he still looks like the high school senior he portrayed in this movie. I wouldn't mind seeing him in this character again, perhaps not in high school, because it was a fun character. It was a not boring movie and that is the only criterion in which I care. I was bored senseless with Academy Award winning movies like Out of Africa and The Piano. Take this movie for what it is and stop comparing it to others movies that it may remind you of.

Beverly Hills Cop wannabe
Added 5/19/2008
Take out everything that is appealing about the Beverly Hills Cop series and replace Eddie with Nick Cannon(who nobody finds funny) and Underclassman is what you get.
Premise: Tre Stokes(Nick Cannon) is a rookie bike cop who is assigned a case on a mysterious murder of a teen. He is instructed to go undercover as well as inducted into a high class private school to finish high school. Later on as the plot develops you find out that the head of the private school is forcing preppy teens to steal cars so he can trade for an extasy knockoff called "bliss".
Opinion: I can only stand Nick Cannon in one movie and that is Drumline. When he tries to be funny he falls on his face. Let me show you all the ways that this movie wants to be Beverly Hills Cop. 1. Nick Cannon's character Tre tries to be funny but Axel Foley didnt have to try to be funny because he already was funny! 2. Tre' gets himself so deep into the case that it cost him his job just like Axel Foley does. 3. Tre's boss is just as hot-headed as Axel's boss. 4. The action scenes mimic what you would see in BHC. The only difference between the two is that in Underclassman, Tre is not visiting LA he lives there and BHC had more credible villains. The villian in this movie... what a ham! He definitely wins the the ham of the year award. Some irascible dean who forces preppy punk kids to steal cars so he can trade for an exctasy wannabe? Just slap that hoe and end the story! The script sounds like it was written by some hack who got inspired by BHC and said hey, I can do something like that. Rosalyn Sanchez is gorgeous as usual but that is still not a reason to see this movie. Another thing that bothers me is that Im sick and tired of seeing these cheesy white boys trying to act black in these movies. It's not funny and it will never be funny! Give it a rest PLEASE! In closing this movie 93 minutes of dry humor and hackneyed action scenes. I'd recommend Beverly Hills Cop III(the weak link in the BHC series) over this movie. Its THAT bad.

Roselyn Sanchez the sexiest!!
Added 8/18/2007
The only good thing about this movie is Roselyn Sanchez, she is fine and as far as Nick Cannon I can't stand him, he's not funny at all and tries too hard to be tough and I recommend not getting this movie unless you wanna see the sexy Roselyn Sanchez, which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars!!
