Rating:  - Quirky, but a great 'sleeper' mystery-comedy
"Plain Clothes" is a quirky mystery-comedy. It has always been a favourite around our house, but it's difficult to find another house that has seen it! Arliss Howard is perfect as Nick Dunbar, a 'young-looking' undercover detective who must go 'plain clothes' into an odd high school to find evidence to clear his brother on a murder rap.

Rating: - A pleasant surprise - see it!
You've probably never heard of Plain Clothes and may have passed over it hundreds of times in your video store, but it's actually a surprisingly good movie - quirky characters (played by talented, but underrated actors such as Arliss Howard, Susie Amis, Loren Dean etc), crazy plot and a fantastic recitation of e.e. cummings "She being brand" were enough to make me a fan.
