The promise is double the fun, double the laughs, and the movie can’t quite deliver on that. But there are still big laughs to be had, and there’s the pleasure of watching these two gifted comedians sharing the same frame.
The movie gives some depth to its misfits, and ultimately sends the valuable message that nobody should be ashamed of who they are.

Slapstick hilarious, good one liner's.
Just dumb comedy at it's finest, Reno 911 style
Report
Like countless studio comedies of the past few years, Night School is a straightforward concept that relies too much on the charisma of its performers to carry a weak script.
The actors aren’t the problem with Night School; the material is.
The movie’s merely the latest A-list comedy of this sort, is happy to live in the middle, and yet it frustratingly outwears its welcome because of a lack of creativity and sloppy structure.
Director Malcolm D. Lee, whose previous movie, 2017’s raucous “Girls Trip,” gave Haddish her star-making breakout role, does her no favors here. In this mess of a movie, her performance is merely adequate. She, and the audience, deserve better.
Crafted within the broadest, not-quite-funny brushstrokes possible, director Lee’s movie about a class of troublemakers, hustlers, adult J.D.s, and Rob Riggle’s patented goofy man-child schtick struggling to earn their GEDs at the eponymous classroom fails, epically.
Very funny film. Don't take children below 12 as it is rude with bad language but both Tiffany & Kevin are funny together with a interesting storyline.
Report
Mediocre, family friendly comedy. Hart is hit and miss and isn't really suited to a PG role.
Haddish more than holds her own and frankly carried the movie.
There's a cautionary tale in here too, but you've seen it 1000s of times before.
Report
Night School is a movie that suffers from a lot of problems. I don't want to point to the fact that the movie has 8 writers credited as the source of its problems, but Occam's Razor states the simplest solution is often the most correct. There was surprisingly little comedy in this movie. There are a lot of pointless scenes, gags that rely too heavily on Kevin Hart making a funny voice, or Tiffany Hadish yelling. This was really disappointing, as I like both of these actors, and this movie did not do them service at all. I would skip this one if given the chance to watch it again.
