Critics Consensus: Despite the appealing presence of Nick Cannon, Underclassman is a shopworn Beverly Hills Cop/ 21 Jump Street knockoff.

Consists of little more than tired racial jokes and fish-out-of-water gags.
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.
Almost comically unambitious, Underclassman seldom tries to be funny, and never even attempts to be original.
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.'
Less an original product than a shoddy tribute to other mediocre cop movies.
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.
Marcos Siega's movie is a smudged paint-by-numbers police story with every cliche except a 24-hour deadline to solve the case.
Meant as a vehicle to deliver young actor Nick Cannon to headliner status, this lame comedy just limps along like a tricycle with bent rims.
Cannon co-executive produced so he has to accept some of the blame for the lack of laughs and thrills, leaving Hugh Bonneville to ham it up for all he's worth as the school's snobbish headmaster.
The finish, a rush of climaxes, can make you feel zoned at 3 a.m., trying to decide between TV and the wallpaper.
Even the chase scenes sag as debut director Marcos Siega disappoints audiences at every turn.
It's mind-boggling that such relentlessly offensive trash ever finds financial backing from a major Hollywood studio.
A waste of time movie but entertaining enough to watch on TV at 1 in the morning. It should have been a made for TV anyway.
