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"?

I rather enjoyed myself with this film. I know the formula and the headliners style of comedy so I knew pretty much what I was getting into.
I laughed and found some rather sweet moments in the film. Say what you want about Kevin and Tiffany but they both STARRED in a PG-13 film that is fun, light and has some pretty important messages... it's never to late to accomplish anything and sometimes it really only takes that one person to believe in you.

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.
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
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).
