I don't know, for me it felt like a feel good comedy and was quite fun. Ok, maybe I am giving it a bit higher mark than it should have, not sure, but still it is a fun popcorn movie.

Stay in School, Even If It's Not for Everyone (Night School Review)

Cinematography: 7.396/10 It's alright. I think Night School's priority is to make people laugh.

Costume Design: 8/10 Decent. The juice of the film comes from the acting talent.

Film Editing: 6.321/10 Ehh... If action in the background doesn't make sense to the intentions of the film and processes in the foreground it looks really awkward. There were definitely some awkward film editing moments that could have been capitalized on to get more laughs. It makes a film more memorable: ever notice when people recognize ad-libs more than actual songs? Yeah.

Make-up and Hair-styling: 8/10 Decent.

Sound Editing: 7/10 Ehh…

Visual Effects: - /10 N/A

Story: 7.491/10 I don't remember watching another comedic film about going to Night School which is different in a good way. There are good points in the film about ambition, relationships, and integrity. After a while I was only watching the film for the antics.

Acting: 6.888/10 Honestly, I feel like Tiffany Haddish is about to have a Precious Paula Patton moment and the film refuses to ever come to being that type of film (which makes sense…). I think the casting works well together. I don't think all of their areas of strengths making the film funnier are best appropriated.
Personal: It is a film that I appreciate more looking back on than actually in the moment of watching it. I understand school is not for everybody but a really strong point shown in the film is the dichotomy between working with/without certification(s). Teddy Walker, played by Kevin Hart, is a great salesperson that may get a better job with a High School Diploma or GED. In a broader world closer to reality, Teddy Walker is capable of getting a better paying Sales job without particular credentials. I support excellent growths; good education and good learning are important for uplifting societies. Still - capable-good people stimulate these motions. I'm not talking about a subjective good either: humans should be able to discern between bad and good. If you need help doing so, contact me. On another note, "Lingerie" by Usher comes to mind when I think of Night School.

Overall: 7.299/10

I liked this movie. It is not going to win an Oscar, but it is pleasing. I mostly like Tiffany Haddish. She is showing she is upping her game.

Very funny film. Don't take children below 12 as it is rude with bad language but both Tiffany & Kevin are funny together with a interesting storyline.

Its like a typical Kevin Hart movie...with some Tiffany Haddish..and some weird night-school colleagues. Some of the jokes from the classmates fall flat, but most of the humor involving Hart is pretty funny throughout.

Some of the jokes from the classmates fall flat, but most of the humor involving Hart is pretty funny throughout. (As well as Taran Killam as the "villian".) Not a great film, but it entertains for the most part, and if you like Kevin Hart movies and just want to see something silly, it works fine in that way.… Expand
