Night School (3.5 out of 5 stars).

Night School is stupid fun and has some comical moments from Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish about a story of a high school drop out who learns later in life that he needs to get his GED in order for him to work for a financial company. Kevin Hart was great and had some funny moments. Surely, the humor can last for so long before it becomes a little dull. With Hart and the rest of the cast ensemble like Tiffany Hadish, Rob Riggle, Romany Malco, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Taran Killam. The characters were fun and had some fun stupid humor. If you are looking for stupid comedy jokes. This is definitely the film. The cast was good. The plot being about Teddy (Kevin Hart) who struggles with learning and avoids going to school or anything to test taking in life. When his retail store burns down. And trying to impress his fiancée Lisa (Megalyn Echikunwoke) who makes more money and has a successful career. He tells her he works for a financial company while he is secretly trying to get his GED. Plus with a principle Stewart (Taran Killam) who hates Teddy's guts that bullied him when they were in school together. Stewart walking around his school with a bat and tries to use street slang terms. The film does have a few fun moments with Teddy and his classmates trying to steal answers to the test by breaking into the school at night.

The film does struggle with its pacing. There are several scenes that felt extended or dragging on for too long. The editing could have trimmed down the scenes to keep the pace flow. Especially, once the jokes and humor were running low and becoming annoying after a while.

Overall, Night School is a pretty fair film. Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish were great with their characters. The cast ensemble was fun. The film does have some hilarious moments and fun stupid humor. There are scenes that felt like it went on for too long.
