Hey folks, Harry here... I have no desire to see this film under any circumstances... beware of spoilers...
Hey everyone, i just saw a movie called UNDERCLASSMEN this week at a movie screening, it starred nick cannon, dont know if you guys would wanna use this...i wrote a review of MEAN GIRLS a while back but that didnt get used, so im not gonna spend too much time on this review in case its not used either.
Lemme get down to it: This movie sucked.
Now, I wasnt expecting much from a nick cannon movie, but it got my hopes up casue it started off with a highly unprobable but still kinda cool car/bike/motorcross chase ending with a huge explosion. I figured, even if the movie sucks, there will be explosions and shootouts and stuff.
I was wrong.
After that point the movie stops being an action movie and instead showcases the comedic talents of Nickelodeons very own Nick Cannon. Honestly, I think every single joke in this movie was ripped off of some other movie, and everyone saw the punchlines coming. No one laughed. The theater was deathly silent until 10 minutes before the end, when it became an action movie again.
This movie not only failed in two genres, but did a triple play and failed as a film that made sense. Seriously, characters just walk into scenes with no explanation of how they got there...for example, Nick Cannon goes "lookin for clues"--cut to-- Cannon stumbling upon a warehouse not only storing stolen cars but stolen drgus as well.
The logic of the movie made was way out there, as well. Particularly this one part, where the chief (cheech maron) says, "your off the force!" and sad music plays. Then, the VERY NEXT SCENE, cannon is back at work.
The 'plot' of the movie centers around a boy at school being murdered. instead of checking the body for clues and interogating the students, they just send nick cannon into the school, though hes not even a real police officer (bike cop).
SPOILERS, PUT PLEASE READ SO AS TO PREVENT ANYONE FOR PAYING FOR THIS SHIT
This entire movie can be summed up by the final (or should i say 'only'?) fight, which was NICK CANNON, A 22-YEAR OLD STRONG GUY VS. A 50-YEAR OLD FAT BRITISH GUY. They couldnt even make the one fight work.
I have some more time before I gotta go, so lemme just note some other things that sucked about this movie:
-a gang of thieves steal a car from a "swaree" (caucasion for party, as cannon says unfunnily) every friday night, but these kids still throw parties every friday night. this goes on for about three months and no one notices.
-pointless scenes where characters would say things, only to have them forgotten in the next scene. most prominently, cannon and this other guy playfully have a game of paintball, where the other guy says something like, "your not an undercover cop, are you?" then later, when cannon says he IS an undercover cop, the kids like, "i had no idea!"
-the kid from QUINTUPLETS plays the stereotypical white guy pretending to be black, and seriously, he wasnt as funny as some of the other 'serious' actors in the movie.
ok, i think ive spent more time writing this review then the screen writers spent lookin their script over. If you use this, call me
