The Bad Education Movie

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

Alfie Wickers (Jack Whitehall) is a comprehensive school teacher who sets the worst example to his already rowdy students. Following some magic mushroom induced madness whilst visiting the Anne Frank museum, he pushes his luck even further by suggesting a class trip to Las Vegas. He is forced to settle for Cornwall, but this fails to stop him paragliding through the Eden Project whilst naked from the waist down, rattling the locals, and eventually getting caught up in a militant liberation plot against a Conservative councillor.

I was really just in the mood for a laugh with this one, as I'd actually never watched the series or, to be honest, anything much to do with Jack Whitehall. So it was one I skipped in the theatres, but eventually rolled around to seeing on DVD. Even without having watched any of the show, it still seems clear that it's had an awkward transition to the big screen, struggling to really hold together as a feature length plot as opposed to an hour long episode.

That said, at under an hour and a half, it hardly drags on, and as a series of comedic set pieces and sequences, it more than serves its purpose. It's the sort of thing people, especially fans of the series, are more than ready to sharpen the knives for, but it must surely have the same effect as the show? ***

Okay, so going into this film i had seen just two episodes of the series so wasn't that familiar with the characters. The show has made me laugh though so i knew that it was at least funny. British sitcoms being translated to the big screen can be very hit or miss, i was hoping it would be funny even with a loose plot like The Inbetweeners Movie or Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa and it delivered.

Jack Whitehall returns as brilliant as ever as the bad influence teacher Alfie Wickers. Bad Education follows the British comedy trend of taking its characters on holiday, this time in the form of a mental school trip to Cornwall. As you can imagine, this leads to crazy antics. It sounds like more of the same, there is a good twist towards the end though. I don't want to ruin it as it wasn't in the trailers or anything and is actually unexpected. This twist got a bit silly towards the end, but the whole film is pretty silly so it isn't so silly that it completely takes you out of the film. I doubt this will get an international release, but if it does i don't think it is one that will appeal to an American audience. In an interview Jack Whitehall said that exact same thing, the humour is so British, and British at its finest. There are a lot of Jack Whitehall's balls though. I don't ever want to see his balls again. Although, this film features the single most intense scene of a man teabagging a swan EVER. I was genuinely scared for the guy.

As a fan of the show, i'm sure you will be delighted to see all the characters on the screen again. Actors from Matthew Horne to Harry Enfield reprise their roles and all of the class are here to. They all get moments to shine as well which i like to see in a film with so many characters. In the end, i haven't laughed harder at a film this year. The plot isn't anything complicated, we have seen this sort of humour before, but as a British person if you don't come out of this film feeling you have had even a little bit of a good time then i will be surprised. I advise anyone up for a good laugh to check out the Bad Education movie, it may be silly, but a film with an opening that is an ET spoof featuring Anne Frank deserves to be seen.

Thought this would be a massive flop, but to my surprise i really liked this dumb movie for some reason. This movie takes things to a different level of craziness, far exceeding even the already crazy and funny TV series from 2012.

You can expect all the original actors in their same old characters just like in the show having fun and doing what they do best - getting into weird and bizzare situations. If you enjoy Jack Whitehall's performances this movie will not dissapoint you, as Whitehall is 100% in his usual character.

Overall, it has a fair bit of laughs and is definitely a decent british comedy, just don't take it too seriously as it is bizzare and unpredictably stupid at moments, leaving you speechless.

As far as British comedies go, this was one of the best I have seen. Contending with the likes of The Inbetweeners and Mrs Brown's Boys the title stands it's ground.

Throughout the film the comedy is well timed with some unexpected outbursts and classic schoolboy/girl humour and it is not as corny as you might expect from a film based in Cornwall. The actors have done a good job of continuing their on-screen persona and have added their own flare to the roles.

The criticism I would give is that in some of the members of Class K there is not a lot of character development. But this is supported by the TV show where viewers of both the show and film will know many of these characters well, whereas an outsider like me couldn't even remember some of their names. This was partly due to the film's plot-line being very heavily based around Jack Whitehall's character, Alfie Wickers. And his testicles.

I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone wishing to have a seriously good laugh whilst learning just a little bit of History.

I Watched this movie without expectation.

It was Good Movie from my point of view.

I was Expecting this movie bad but after watching this it was good enough to watch for one time movie.

its graphics have color popping and the direction and camera angle were shoot like a pro

Some of the Game of Throne Joke was good

I usually don't write the review but I Saw many of the people hate this movie just because this movie didn't matched their taste of their movie

I can't understand what people think before watching the movie It's a comedy movie first watch the trailer then watch the movie
