Class Act

Class Act is a 1992 American comedy film directed by Randall Miller and starring hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play.

An urban retelling of Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper, the film was written by Cynthia Friedlob and John Semper from a story by Michael Swerdlick, Richard Brenne and Wayne Allan Rice.

Blade manages to smooth-talk his way through his advanced classes, even successfully executing a dissertation on sexual intercourse (one of his favorite subjects).

A drug dealer named Mink was told by his employee Wedge that Blade has been stepping into his territory and a chase involving the guys and their girlfriends and one of Duncan's new buddies ensues.

They succeed when Blade answers a tiebreaker question to win the competition, recalling a choice tidbit Ellen once told him.

[4] Janet Maslin of The New York Times said that "the movie doesn't aspire to much more than cartoonish verve, but Kid 'n' Play easily hold it together.

The film easily incorporates a crowd-pleasing rap and dance episode featuring both of them, and it meanders only when taking on anything more complicated.

"[5] Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers said that "first-time director Randall Miller guides [the actors] over every predictable comic misstep with a timeout for a hip-hop number.
