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
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.
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.

So this is another Kevin Hart movie ,, yes it is the same style as his previous ones ,, though the plot was genuine ,, had a lot of funny bits ,, not hilarious ,, but somewhat enjoyable ,, you would probably giggle on some of the jokes "i bet one it" ,, the script was okay i guess ,, it does had some dull moments ,, but it all worked out well ,, and i think the level of comedy was acceptable ,, I think some people didn't like it because they're used to seeing Kevin Hart as the sidekick next to another star , like "The rock" for instance ,, and to be honest ,, if he'd showed up in here it would have had a different response and reviews ,, but it truly believe Kevin pulled it off , and the movie went smoothly on the boxoffice .
Cast wise, next to Kevin Hart,, loved Tiffany Haddish with her angry comedy/scary face style :D ,, the other nightschoolers ,, Rob Riggle and Mary Lynn Rajskub did so well ,, and even the SNL guy Taran Killam was really funny with these "Black voices" :D
final thought ,, I think we owe it to Kevin to give him a chance of flying solo ,, i think this was a good subtle start , though i hope it doesn't distract him for his stand-ups ;) ,, Recommended.

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.
