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.
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).
First I must state this movie is not a bad move! I enjoyed it but the plot becomes tedious - Kevin Hart does Kevin Hart cute ... again. Tiffany Haddish as Carrie shines throughout the movie and the only other sustaining character is Al Madrigal as Luis and he is not given enough screen time to project his most interesting character.
The other issue I have with this movie is the editing!! Certainly the editor should have attended night school to get a GED in the art of film editing. What a mess the editing is in this movie.
AND can someone please explain the "Christian" overtone that is so prevalent in this story. The 'Christian Chicken' joke is a mixed message - think about it. It's both ridiculous and a message in this story. Was the intention to draw in the Chic-fil-a crowd? It left me with an unsettled feeling. "Why Christian"?

Don't expect some sophisticated comedy, this is a put your brain on pause and enjoy the ride type of movie. Now that said, this isn't the worst offender out of them like certainly the scary movie type comedies, it's got some realism to it and some semblance of reality.
The most important thing is that its a funny movie, it has lots of jokes, lots of jokes, some funnier than others, but overall I'd say more of the jokes land and are funny.
It's also got some nice story, nothing special, but it's a nice feel good story with a bit of romantic parts and stuff. All of the actors are great, each and every one of them is funny in their own way,
I enjoyed the movie and had quite a few laughs, definitely worth seeing if you like the silly type comedies. Recently with mr. English and this I feel like comedies are coming back a little.

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.
