Tomatometer
Rotten
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.
Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Almost comically unambitious, Underclassman seldom tries to be funny, and never even attempts to be original.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten
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.'
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Less an original product than a shoddy tribute to other mediocre cop movies.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
