"To the person who once told Cannon he was funny, I wish I could jump into my DeLorean, travel back in time, and administer some Irish kisses to this individual."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"This unoriginal, not-raucous-enough- to-be-offensive movie just turns inane."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

D
"As fate would have it, I forgot to bring my Cop Movie Cliché bingo card to the screening. It's a shame, because I know I'd have won."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"[A] clichéd and callow action-comedy piece that’s about as appetizing as a dead worm in the teacher’s apple. Hence, the flawed Underclassman simply doesn’t make the grade"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

3/10
"Underclassman is primarily a string of clichés looking for a story."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

1.5/5
"It seems that the filmmakers behind Underclassman think that Nick Cannon is the second coming of comedy genius. The sad fact is that he ain't."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"[H]ow does [Cannon] get money to write, produce, and star in a movie that’s all about how hilarious he is? This is a particular puzzle because he is not funny in the least."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

B-
"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. "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"Siega's hackneyed, by-the-books action-comedy exhibits few intelligent thoughts in its dunce cap-deserving head. "  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"Underclassman isn’t bad, it’s just lazy"  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

1/5
"Underclassman flails around for 95 of the draggiest minutes that you could possibly encounter."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

1/4
"Cannon's appeal is overshadowed by both his vanity and the dull, by-the-numbers quality of the filmmaking."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
