Class Act

Class Act (1992) is an American comedy directed by Randall Miller — watch it online on iFILM. Hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play, played by Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin, take on their funniest big-screen roles yet: two high school students whose permanent records get accidentally swapped.

Duncan is a model student with straight A's and a future. Blade is a juvenile delinquent whose file is thicker than most textbooks. When the school mixes up their records, Duncan lands in the rough class and Blade gets planted among the honors kids. Both quickly realize that borrowed reputations open doors their real ones never could. Karyn Parsons and Alysia Rogers play the classmates who complicate everything further.

Made right at the start of hip-hop's mainstream breakthrough, the film is as much a time capsule as a comedy — the soundtrack, the style, the slang all pinpoint 1992 with precision. If you enjoy early-nineties comedies that hold nothing back, this one delivers. Stream Class Act (1992) online on iFILM.
