The Bad Education Movie

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 think this movie will mostly suit the fans of the TV show ,the humor is pretty dumb and trashy and some will find this movie as a garbage. I discovered that this movie is based on a TV show only after i've finished watching.This film was a fun comedy until the first half of it ended and then it escalated pretty slowly so i cant say that i wanted to switch it off before it ended , give it an additional 10 minutes and i totally would have.This film is packed with English humor so if you cant bare it don't even start watching.The story and the actors are pretty solid , i wont say that its super original or something but still this comedy provides something many comedies fail to provide and its the ability to keep a smile on your face through all of the film. Ill mention it again because its important , the humor is very low and dumb so if you cant handle it avoid it.

This movie is funny, though I recommend watching the series first, which may even be necessary to actually enjoy the movie.

The movie in short: The class goes on a trip but of course, nothing goes as expected.

Since the series has many more or less deep characters, the movie cannot compete in terms of character development. While the series contains on average 6 episodes per season at roughly half an hour (way too short for its quality in my opinion), the movie has to cope with introducing the various students and teachers within the first part of the movie. I am not sure if that is enough to really "understand" the situation/background story at "Abbey Grove". The characters may seem a little flat/stereotypical if one has not yet seen the series. Granted, "form K" pretty much has a member of every socio-demographic (?) group in it that I could think of of the top of my head. This makes the series more interesting, may seem a little forced to be funny in the movie.

Regarding the humor in the movie, it is exactly what you would expect after watching the series. It is about the same level of sometimes beneath the belt but makes you laugh more often than cringe.

Personally I am pretty happy with the movies ending. As most people may have experienced, it is an awful feeling when a series that one has really enjoyed watching comes to a close and leaves a feeling of emptiness. "The bad education movie" fills the void that the series left perfectly and at least for me, gives the whole story a finish that I can live and close that chapter with.

I did enjoy the series more than the movie, though it is still a movie I'd recommend.

Watched the TV series and really enjoyed it. Watched the movie and it didn't disappoint. It really is stupid but if you like enjoy this type of purile British comedy (like me) then you'll enjoy this. You'll laugh, get mildly emotional and cringe (a lot). Overall one of the best spin off movies I've seen.
