How are we suppose to just accept that this 40yr old man is playing a high school kid like no just no. They just dont think things through sometimes. ................

Nick goes under cover as a student at his brother naff school. Calls himself Nick Springsteen and looks like one of the village people in disguise. He sticks out like a sore thumb but it doesn't stop him hitting on the teacher who is attractive as an acid bath in the dark. This movie isn't clever or funny and can see why this made hardly anything at the box office. Just a dumb movie and the leading actor acting abilities are sub standard which hurts the movie. In fact most of the actors are just awful so this film never stood a chance!

I wouldn't give this movie an overall good mark, but I think in its niche it well deserves its average. To be an eighties movie it contains enough for the younger viewer to enjoy. I quite liked the small poetry incorporated. One thumb up!

Undercover cop Arliss Howard is used to Plain Clothes assignments, but usually those are indeed assigned. He goes undercover on his own to find out the murderer of one of the high school faculty. The victim falls dead in his classroom and the cops have arrested student Loren Dean for the murderer. But Dean is Howard's brother and Howard starts his own investigation by going back to high school where he becomes popular when he accidentally punches out Principal Robert Stack. There's a treasure trove of suspects among the faculty which includes Diane Ladd, Abe Vigoda, George Wendt, and Suzy Amis. The students also have suspects such as school bully Peter Dobson. Plain Clothes will yield a few laughs for most moviegoers. The climax which was staged at a carnival seems to have been borrowed in part from Some Came Running and Abbott&Costello Go To Hollywood. I'll let you watch and see who the real murderer is and which film you think inspired the final chase scene.

i love this movie!yes some corny-ness,nothing major,,,no major stars,,,but cast has energy to make this a great 80's teen movie.george wendt,robert stack,harry shearer,,abe vigoda....very charming movie,.
