Critics Consensus

Night School's funny stars and seemingly promising setup add up to a disappointingly scattershot comedy whose laughs are largely held in detention.

Andrea Thompson

Chicago Reader

Night School has all the trappings of the usual Kevin Hart movie, but his brand of over-the-top, self-deprecating humor is in top form.

Ed Potton

The Times (UK)

Such sexual tone-deafness is especially infuriating because the film is almost enlightened in other areas.

Rated: 2/5

Observer (UK)

The film is a vehicle for Haddish, whose timing and delivery make the jokes jump off the page.

Rated: 3/5

With a story this overused, I’d be far more forgiving if it was at least funnier. But it has no real comedic flair, and so didn’t generate any noteworthy reaction outside of the occasional chuckle.

Rated: 2/5

Ready Steady Cut

Haddish, though, matches Hart’s up-tempo comic energy, which also has some genuinely funny supporting turns.

Rated: 3/5

I laid back and had a few laughs... It gives the [comedians] the opportunity to showcase their comedic chops.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Should have left Kevin Fart in the locker and thrown away the key. He is unfunny rude loud and crass. I don't know why hokeywood lines him.

Another Kevin Hart disaster! This movie tried too hard and Kevin Hart was at the center of it all. Usually like Kevin Hart movies but the last few movies have been disappointing, Night School is one of the worst.

I hate my lecturer for making me watch this movie. It's clear they didn't write any jokes and they were just ad-libbing.

That movie is so funny! Tiffany Haddish is so hilarious, especially with the leprechaun joke! Although I’m over the movie now.
