I am embarrased to be a human being. I cannot believe this movie was made. It is the most worthless piece of garbage ever thought of and produced. Who let this slip by? This , my friends, is what is considered enterntainment in 2006. Who is Nick Cannon, and why does anyone believe he is an actor? If he's an actor, I'm about to make it big in Hollywood. Do not waste your time, people. For the love of god, I beg you!!!!!!

Now I knew his co-hosts clowned Nick Cannon on "Wildin' Out" for this movie and I don't know one person who went to the show to see it, but I still give EVERYTHING the benefit of the doubt. My mother bought the movie and this was another one she said "Give it a chance." Aw man, this is about an hour and a half of my life that I cannot get back. He's supposed to go undercover as a student to find out what trouble-making kids are doing, but nothing about this movie was believable. The action scenes were so amateur, the shooting scenes looked about as cutesy as watching Super Mario Bros. video games, the "thugs" were NOT good at playing troublemakers at all, the chop shop looked way too pretty, and BOTH cops needing to go to ONE spot so ONE person could "empty" himself was too goofy for me. I hope he got a fat check for this one, because even admitting he was apart of this movie would make me embarassed if I were him.

this movie was like 10 movies rolled into One&none of it any good. Nick Cannon has some chemistry but it never has developed into much beyond what he did in "DrumLine"(which was a decent film to me)&I like a few songs he has done over the years,but He ain't gonna ever abandon a singing Career for Movies because it ain't fully there.but this film tries way too many things&very cliche jokes,&themes. I did Love seeing Rosalyn Sanchez. yes Lawd she was the most happening thing about this Clunker.this film runs just like Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley's Blue Chevy did in Beverly Hills cop:slow&out of gas before it gets a chance to even get started.

to be at the meeting that greenlighted this pile of trash.what do producers think when releasing garaunteed flops like this ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? not even their target audience(jr high schoolers and trl'ers)will give this more than 1 star.

Nick Cannon plays "Tre", a young detective who goes undercover at a preppy school. His goal is to catch a stolen-car ring in it's act.

Roselyn Sanchez plays her role nicely as Karen Lopez, a teacher at the school. She stands out in the movie and is very sexy too.

Cheech Marin is convincing as Tre's boss, Captain Victor Delgado who happened to work with Tre's father, who was killed in the line of duty. Tre and Capt. Delgado eventually form a bond after many ups and downs.

Kelly Hu plays Lisa Brooks, a co-worker of Tre on the force. They have good camraderie throughout the movie.

This movie won't be nominated for any awards, nor will any of the many actors/actresses. But it's not as bad as many of the previous reviews have made it out to be. Sure it's hard to believe Nick Cannon playing in the role of a detective. Even I have to admit he isn't fit for the role.

Watch and see for yourself.

Is this film really by the director of Pretty Persuasion? Anyway - it is Nick Cannon so I figured it was a commercial film. The story is kind of generic and it seems a little disjointed but no more than these genre films normally tend to be. good mindless entertainment

There's nothing new in Underclassman. Not good plot, the acting is below average, and the jokes fall flat. It wants to be a mix between 21 Jump Street and Bad Boys, but it's really neither. It's made for teens, and I'm not sure if they'd even like it.

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!!

Not to say this is the best Moive out there but its a real good Family film ** Nick Cannon and the rest do a good Job ** the store is nice ** My dad enjoyed it with me.

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.
