2/5
You sense Whitehall and co-writer Freddy Syborn egging one another on to see who can scrape the bottom of the barrel quickest and loudest. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety 08/24/2015
A sequel may be far from a guaranteed prospect, but the pic does establish the elastic-faced Whitehall as a film-anchoring comic presence (and writer) for other, similarly lightweight vehicles. Go to Full Review

Childish? Yes, of course; this is schoolboy humour run amok. Funny? Bad Education is unexpectedly hilarious ... Go to Full Review

2/5
The Bad Education Movie's crass humour will offer much to enjoy for fans of the series and Whitehall himself, but will do little for anyone not already on board. Go to Full Review
Jason Best Movie Talk 05/27/2016
3/5
The comedy is broad and the hijinks mostly puerile, with far too many episodes involving threats to and exposure of Alfie's testicles. Other gags, however, are set up with impressive care. Go to Full Review

6.6/10
Ultimately there are enough good jokes to make the feature a worthwhile endeavour. Go to Full Review

Sahooon C 11/03/2023 I am so dissapointed in this film. I absolutely LOVED the TV show and was so excited when I heard this was coming but it's full of chidish jokes that didn't match the TV shows vibe at all and if I am honest it's what ruined this film. There are plenty of jokes that would've been in the TV show that were great and was nice to see the big actors return but the headteacher, Alfies dad and now GF needed more screen time. The headteacher was a key character in the show and his lack of screen time here was felt See more Joshua H @JoshuaHawes 06/11/2022 It was a stupid movie in every way, which is why it was so enjoyable. It knew exactly what it was, making it a fun watch. See more 08/29/2020 The movie has some funny bits. I really recommend watching the tv series that the movie is based on. The show is much better than the movie. All of the actors and actresses in both the show and the movie do an excellent job. It is a bit silly, but very funny if you don't take it too seriously. Jack Whitehall does an amazing job, and deserves more credit! See more 07/15/2020 I really remember enjoying the series of Bad Education but after watching this it was sort of a let down, there's some good funny moment's throughout this movie but apart from that there's so many scenes which don't make much sense on how they happened. See more 10/08/2019 It's quite filthy...but I still found myself bursting out with laughter all the way through! See more 09/12/2019 Must watch the show too! See more Read all reviews
