    This underrated movie brings back so many memories!

    Class Act is a underrated gem with Kid n Play in it. This movie from start to finish always make me laugh so hard. I really love the slapstick humor in this movie, especially each of the characters always slapping similar from Moe of the Three Stooges. The soundtrack for this movie is dope and I'll admit I miss these kind of comedies and 80-90's rap music!! One of my favorite movies of the 1990's!!!

    Very fun movie!!!

    I love these kind of movies when there's a mix with awesome music and funny scenes at the same time. Sometimes you almost cry for yourself. I think, the director has put a lot of effort in this movie by combine different things with each-other. And that's what makes movies so funny. The movie is great and cool though it could have been better if it hadn't so short scenes all the time. I mean when they had the competition of witch school who was the smartest. If it was longer it could have been funnier. It's like something happens all the time at many places.

    If you see the movie sometime, just don't miss the great thing about it. Give it a try at least. I know you will be satisfied enough.

    My all time favourite.

    This is my all time favourite film, so I am slightly biased! The reason I love this film is the moment in time it encapsulates & the comedy throughout is very funny. For me early 90's culture was an intriguing time. From the brightly coloured attire to the strong soundtrack. From Plays car 'Lucille' :)to the rib tickling examples of high school life which everyone can relate to in some form or other. The plot is easy watching, it just rolls along nicely.

    There is an error in the car chase scene which I spotted. Play drives the car into the back of Minks Jaguar & crumples the front of 'Lucille' however in the next scene the front of the car is restored to its former glory :)

    If you want a trip down memory lane to the flamboyant culture of the early 90's, and a reminder of how it was at school during those terrible teens, then this comedy with Kid n Play and a few other familiar faces ('Doug. E Doug' who went on to do Cool Runnings) ('Karyn Parsons' - Hilary in Fresh Prince Of Bell Air) (Pauly Shore who plays the unforgettable role of the hippy) this film is a good watch.

    Underrated cult flick from pop rap duo

    "Class Act" is, as far as I can tell, the only movie pop-rap duo Kid 'n Play made that wasn't related to the House Party series. It's not quite as good as the classic first movie in that series, but it's still well worth watching.

    In "Class Act", Kid is a nerdy student and Play is a thug. A mix up causes Kid to be placed in the remedial class with bullies and criminals, and Play gets put in the gifted class.

    It's pretty funny at times, and entertaining, though I found my attention waned toward the end, which never really happened with "House Party".

    Funny comedy

    Class Act was a funny comedy when released in 1992. Kid & Play conuntied to make good comedy and are good comedic team. Doug E. Doug in an early sidekick role was alos very funny. My favorite scene in the movie is where Duncan is confused about slang and Blade has to explain it to him. I personally feel the filmmakers should have maybe gave Kid the Blade role and Play the Duncan but all in all still a funny movie.

    • Goofs
      When Blade is taking Duncan's glasses off and giving him the gold tooth to put in his mouth, the camera switches to Blade taking the tooth out then back to Duncan saying "that's not hygienic" with the gold tooth already in his mouth.
    • Quotes

      [Blade is trying to teach Duncan how to talk slang]

      Duncan: Did you hear me? I said that was stupid.

      Blade: Did you hear me? I said, "Thanks."

      Duncan: Are you deaf?

      Blade: [misunderstood as "def"] Man, I'm the defest brotha on this block!

      Duncan: YOU'RE deaf?

      Blade: [still misunderstood as "def"] That's right.

      Duncan: [turns head] I think Blade Brown is the biggest asshole on the planet.

      [Blade smacks Duncan upside the head]

      Duncan: Hey! You're not deaf!
