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.

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.

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

One Room With A View

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.

Rated: 2/5

Movie Talk

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.

Rated: 3/5

Ultimately there are enough good jokes to make the feature a worthwhile endeavour.

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

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.

After watching the series back in the start of 2020 im surprised ive not watched this film but today i did and i do think the story is good considering the entire show is a class in a class room but if your british you will love this.

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!

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.
