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. Filmed at Van Nuys High School in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles, it is the third of five films starring Kid ‘n Play, following House Party (1990) and House Party 2 (1991), and preceding House Party 3 (1994) and House Party: Tonight’s the Night (2013).
Duncan Pinderhughes (Christopher Reid) is a nerdy straight-A student with no social life, and Blade Brown (Christopher Martin) is a tough bad boy with grades so low he has little hope of graduating from high school. When a fateful mistake swaps their permanent records — and thereby identities — they decide to take advantage. Duncan will raise Blade’s grades, and Blade will show Duncan how to be cool. However, they both start to realize that their new lives aren’t what they expected.
