Surprisingly good...

Ok, I know what you're thinking. That skinny kid from Nickelodeon teams up with that hot Chinese girl from X-men...no thanks. Trust me when I say, I was thinking the same thing. Unfortuantely as a parent, one doesn't always get the luxury of not watching bad movies. I have sat through my share of cruddy movies. Remember Shark Boy and Lava Girl? Yeah...I paid to see it in the theater. Nothing pleases me more than to be pleasantly surprised with a flick that the kids choose. Well, we finally rented The Underclassman the other night. I was dreading having to sit on my couch for 2 hours watching Nick Cannon of all people. I'm not really a huge fan. I cracked up as he played Miami's bad boy in the failed series "South Beach" with Vanessa Williams. I mean, c'mon. The guy weighs about a buck twenty-five, and isn't very funny. All that aside, this was my daughter's choice, and I'm a sucker when it comes to the little ones. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is mildly funny, and entertaining throughout. Nick's cracks on his overweight co-worker got a few chuckles from me. Cheech is in it. Having 2 very attractive ladies in Kelly Hu and Roselyn Sanchez doesn't hurt either. The entire film is extremely far fetched in every aspect, but what movie isn't now days. I honestly couldn't reccommend buying this DVD unless you can find it in the $5.50 bin at Wal-Mart, but it's worth a trip to Blockbuster or a spot deep in your NetFlix queue. If your kids are past the "all i want to watch is a cartoon" stage and they haven't graduated from high school, they'll most likely enjoy it as well. My final word...Parents looking for a DVD the kids will love and they can stomach, this should be a consideration. For the simple fact that I've pretty much hated everything Nick Cannon has ever been in, I had to give this one a 3 out of 5.
