Literally better than expected. I only expected kevin Hart to be high pitched and screaming and Hadish to be sarcastic; that's it. But this was an actually an entertaining movie with emotional bits with truly addressing a problem that most people make fun of. I liked it and recommend it.
I expected 'Night School' to be terrible, however it was actually a pleasant surprise. Sure, it wasn't brilliant; the already weak plot was entirely driven by the jokes, there was no real room for character development, and the film delivered no belly laughs, yet somehow it managed to provide some sort of entertainment. There were enough amusing moments to keep the comedy afloat, and while they never made me full on laugh, they managed to put a smile on my face every now and then. The cast all did good jobs with the material that they were given, and they kept things engaging even when the narrative was going nowhere. However the film did feel quite lengthy, and some already unfunny scenes dragged on for way too long. On top of that there was some noticeably bad ADR. On the whole though, I found 'Night School' to be an enjoyable watch when it was on, despite it being instantly forgettable. 6/10
This is a cute comedy. It definitely has its flaws - predictability, awkward dialogue and relationships that never get explored although they're hinted at - but the message is good and characters make you laugh. Tiffany Haddish is a great addition to the movie and a joy to watch.
It may seem odd, but I was actually looking forward to this movie. They had been promoting it for months upon months, and I thought, "This might actually be pretty funny." Well, I only found it to be *moderately* funny. Kevin Hart does what he normally does, Tiffany Haddish does what she normally does, and character actors like Rob Riggle and Mary Lynn Rajskub show up and do some schtick that's amusing, at most. The best scenes were in the trailer, they try to squeeze just the tiniest bit of drama from learning disabilities, and the film editing is surprisingly poor. I even noticed a scene where you could tell it was dubbed over. What more can I say? I just expected more from this film.
Really enjoyable comedy movie. I see those bad reviews with 1-5 ratings. Well I know that this is kind of the same story about students who didn't learn but there are really funny jokes which makes this movie quite good.(Not saying the plot or idea is original).
