Class Act takes a fairly radical idea and turns it into a sitcom, although not without giving us some idea of the possibilities it has missed.

Rated: 2/4

This movie was really nothing but fluff for the decade, featuring hot hip-hop stars of the day.

Rated: 2.5/5

A film that strains to be entertaining until it's red in the face, but doesn't contain a single laugh.

Rated: D

While not a horrible film, it certainly isn't the type of feature that would make anyone an icon or even a star.

Fiome fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tentou fazer uma comédia dos mesmo personagens do house party e não deu certo, as cenas são ruins e a história não ajuda em nada, o filme colocou um pouco de romance entre os dois protagonistas, mas não deu certo, com tudo isso eu não recomendo esse filme.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
