Underclassman Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Consists of little more than tired racial jokes and fish-out-of-water gags.
Chicago Reader
Joshua Katzman
This is geared toward the preteen set, but director Marcos Siega proves inept at executing the most basic dramatic and comedic setups, and Cannon's mugging and preening quickly grow tiresome.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Almost comically unambitious, Underclassman seldom tries to be funny, and never even attempts to be original.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
This is one of those movies where at the end of the year you'll say, 'Underclassman, what was that about? I don't even remember it.'
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Underclassman was probably a gas to film. Watching it, on the other hand, is like sitting in afterschool detention.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Less an original product than a shoddy tribute to other mediocre cop movies.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Hu, Marin and a very fine British actor, Hugh Bonneville (Iris) playing the school's headmaster, bring some desperately needed authenticity and texture to this Miramax film.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
This feeble Beverly Hills Cop knockoff will give audiences burned repeatedly by crummy movies this summer yet another reason to avoid multiplexes for the Labor Day weekend.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
It's off to detention for Underclassman, a remedial comedy for idiots.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Underclassman is squarely aimed at a teen audience, but will be best appreciated by those who have never seen a TV cop show or, better yet, never attended school.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Within that worn formula of cop-shop banter and implausible car chases, lanky Nick Cannon offers some mild entertainment for teenagers looking for a safe bet at the multiplex.
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
Underclassman flunks out.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Let me float the suggestion that it be rated PG-13-only, since anyone older than that will quickly realize he or she has better things to do than attend this pitiful Beverly Hills Cop retread.
Arizona Republic
Kathy Cano-Murillo
A been-there, done-that snoozer.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
It's straight off the assembly line with no surprises, but pleasantly entertaining thanks to Cannon's being almost as charming as he thinks he is.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The latest bit of damaged goods offered up in the Miramax clearance sale, Underclassman plays like the longest episode of 21 Jump Street ever made.
Washington Post
Teresa Wiltz
If you saw 21 Jump Street back in the '80s, or any of a number of shows featuring cute and cuddly cops, you pretty much know where this flick is heading.
USA Today
Mike Clark
That sound you hear is from jet engines gassing up, about to zoom Underclassman to DVD-ville.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Marcos Siega's direction is well-paced, but writers David T. Wagner and Brent Goldberg haven't brought anything sufficiently fresh or original to a formula plot.
Newsday
John Anderson
Screenwriters David T. Wagner and Brent Goldberg don't have tin ears, exactly; they've just recycled every movie quip they've ever overheard.
