Features: DVD
This fast-paced action comedy stars Nick Cannon (Drumline, Roll Bounce) as a streetwise detective who goes undercover... and ends up in over his head! Tracy "Tre" Stokes (Cannon) is a rookie bike cop who finally gets the kind of heavyweight assignment he's been begging for: find the killer of a student at an elite private school! What he discovers is a plot more deadly than anyone imagined! With danger... and preppies...everywhere, Tre will need his hip personality to fit in and his unorthodox style of investigation to crack the case! Packed with high-octane laughs and featuring Roselyn Sanchez (Rush Hour 2) and Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King), Underclassman delivers over-the-top entertainment!
Editor's Note
Infiltrating a prep school where large-scale criminal activity is suspected, a young investigator (Nick Cannon) finally finds a way to put his kid-like appearance to good use, blending right in as a student in disguise. This crime comedy is directed by newcomer Marcos Siega.

It is a melancholy fact that a brilliant movie about high school criminals, Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) got a fraction of the promotional support given to this lame formula film. If the teenagers going to Underclassman were to see Better Luck Tomorrow, they'd have something to think about and talk about and be interested in. Underclassman is a dead zone that will bore them silly while distracting them with the illusion that a lot of stuff is happening. - Roger Ebert
San Francisco Examiner 4 of 10
There wasn't one funny line in Nick Cannon's new so-called comedy, Underclassman... Let's face it: This is a tired, old plot. It's your basic fish-out-of-water flick mixed with a formulaic police story. - Scott Rosenberg
