This was an excellent movie not because of it's good story line or wonderful acting (neither of which are true). Rather this movie stands out because of it's realistic adaption of American high schools. It deals with such subjects as drug abuse, bullies, intellectual segregation, and sex. Not to mention all of the actors were excellent choices for their roles. Karyn Parsons (from THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR) was excellent as a beautiful nerd. Doug E.Doug was very funny in his role as a butt-kissing class clown. And best of all Alysia Rogers (BOYZ IN THE HOOD) was excellent as Damita the beautiful tough girl. Great movie! be sure to check it out.......Also look for an accidential movie folly that must of made it past the eyes of director Randall Miller. In the first classroom scene of this movie, Doug E.Doug accidently smacks Alysia Rogers on the chest.

This is the best movie ever by Kid-N-Play I found it funny and cool.There was the geeky kid and then there was the hard gangsta that everyone was afraid of and they had switch schools.The geeky kid becomes pretty cool all in all a great movie.

Yes this is to me considered a Cult Classic B-Movie...mind you it is cheesey but as B-movie and Guilty pleasures go..... it is great...Now I'm like everyone else.... Can I get a DVD please?

Yeah, where is the release of this DVD?!!

All of the House Party series are on DVD (even in widescreen,) but instead of putting this classic B-movie on DVD, they give us the hella-crappy House Party 4! OMG, Kid's married, so they give another flick to a series that should not have been done after part 2 and let it star with the kids that played in the one that shouldn't have existed! Am I right?
Maybe the release of Kid N Play's Class Act has been overlooked for DVD, I hope that Amazon.com gets enough attention from its customers to holla at dub-b and get this released. I need to see ol' girl from Fresh Prince of Bel Air as the scholar chick, and the fiiiiiine chick with the nice e'ything as the b-girl (my fav is the part where they slide down the escape and you can see all that azz on that b-girl!!!)
I still see this movie on cable, but without all of the highlights (nahmean?) This one is way overdue for DVD, and I hope we get it soon. I hope my review helps some, the soundtrack's still available for like a dollar or something like that. This flick will be a puzzle missing from my collection until the day...

As you may know by now Sid has a real passion for 90's flicks. Whether it be horror, action, or comedy they all seem to be top notch in that corny b way we just can't get enough of. Class Act is a perfect example of this. It was released in 1992 between House Party 2 & 3. We can only assume that House Party 2 didn't fair too well in the box office and they decided to switch it up a bit before releasing a third House Party installment. If you are a fan of Kid n Play you should know what to expect with this one. Either you'll love it or think it's terrible.

This time we get to see Kid as an overachieving genius named Duncan who has a run in with the school delinquent Blade (Play). The school winds up switching their records around forcing them to assume new identities to keep Blade from his pending trouble with the law. As they struggle to get by in their new lives they begin to find the good things about being each other. Duncan gets to be feared by the entire school because they think he's a ruthless thug and Blade is thought of as a genius earning him a little action with Ellen (Hillary from Fresh Prince of Bel Air). Happy times! Of course they get themselves into some trouble and have their usual rap off, this time with a little help from the weasel himself Pauly Shore. It all gets patched up in the end and of course they become best buds to only be seen in House Party 3 one year later.

For us you can't help but love this movie. It's Kid n Play! What isn't to love about that? It doesn't quite have the goods House Party has but it's still a solid 90's comedy proving what a fun time that was. It's a shame they can't duplicate any films like this any longer without it being some awful dance hall competition crap. So for those of you out there looking to cheese up you evening Class Act may be the right choice. You don't have to tell anybody you watched it. Just let it be a guilty pleasure. Oh and just a side note, why can't we get this film out on dvd? There is far far worse out there available. C'mon Amazon lets make it happen.

I'll never understand why this movie never got a DVD release while terrible comedies(like anything produced by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg) get released and the Blu-ray treatment. Life can be cold sometimes. Class Act is one of the fond memories I have of the 90s.

If you dont already know this movie details The misadventures of Duncan(Kid of Kid N Play) and Blade(Play of Kid N Play). These two get mistaken for each other after in accident in the office and crazy hijinks ensue.

The funniest scenes would have to be when Blade is teaching Duncan how to be hip. Meshach Taylor is pretty funny as Duncan's father who thinks that Duncan might be a little sweet. Every time Wedge gets beaten up I laugh and when Rhea Pearlman(who plays Blade's teacher) was hitting on Blade I almost lost my breath laughing so hard. Yeah, its easy to think about what would happen if the mistake had never been made but that would have made for a boring movie.

Class Act is one of the funniest movies of 1992 and the fact that it isnt released on DVD while movies that everybody knows are horrible are released on Blu-ray is a crime. I recommend this movie to anybody that's a fan of 90s comedy. 100% funnier than the garbage that passes for humor these days.

I have also been searching for this great movie on DVD. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Maybe if enough people ask for it someone will here us and produce it. Love reading such great reviews and I hope everyone is passing this information on. If you haven't seen this movie you need to go out and pick it up, even if it is just on VHS. Keep hope alive.

I felt the need to write a review for Class Act after reading the ones that tore it apart. This movie is not only FULL of brilliant one liners, it also holds a pretty funny story that's easy to follow and laugh at about 2 students (obviously kid and play) who's transcripts get switched on the first day of highschool making the bad kid and the smart kid reverse rolls. I guess its for the type of person that has a good sense of humor and can see that it was meant to be "stupid" funny and not aiming for a movie award. Kid and Play may have vanished years ago, but anytime i see this movie on TBS, it cracks me up and i actually came to amazon today to see if you can buy it on DVD because i definitely would.

This movie is not on dvd yet please bring this movie out for dvd this year cause I'll been waiting for this movie to come out for dvd in the last couple years so can warner bros create a dvd format for this movie this year 2003 cause this is my all time favorite comedy movie.

This is the best "Kid N play" movie there is... even better than the "House Party" series, Class Act is so good you can watch it back to back, I wish they would put it on DVD it deserves to be on it!!!!
