Night School Movie Review

Night School Directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Girls Trip, Best Man Holiday) Written by Kevin Hart, Harry Ratchford, Joey Wells, Mathew Kellard, Nicholas Stoller & John Hamburg. Starring Kevin Hart (Jumanji, Fist Fight) Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, Keanu) Brook Butler (Ozark, The Resident) & Taram Killam (Killing Gunther & 12 Years A Slave). 

A group of troublemakers are forced to attend night school in hope that they'll pass the GED exam to finish high school.

Right off the bat this movie is ok. It’s nothing special. It’s not something I would say go right away and see it for a good non stop laugh. The chemistry with Kevin and Tiffany is there. Also the same shtick with Kevin and Tiffany is there. They do have some laughs but the movie survives with the supporting cast who in my opinion are funnier than they are. The movie succeeds with the setup of the supporting cast the problem with the film is that there is no payoff for them. The director who did girls trip and was very successful with making a really funny film doesn’t get the same punch with this one. 

I like Kevin Hart I think he’s good in comedies the problem is that he’s doing the same Kevin Hart thing in all the films. Same goes for Tiffany Haddish she’s constantly being the loud always yelling and making dumb faces. There is no range here this is not Casablanca it’s just stupid laughs with a story that is paint by numbers that a 4 year old can piece together. 

My recommendation for this film is wait for it to come out on blue ray and watch it or if you are on a date and it’s not going well go see this to get at least a few laughs to save the night a little bit. 

Night School gets a 5.4/10 


Rotten Tomatoes score: 30%

Glass Movie Review

“Glass” Written & Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (unbreakable, Split) Starring James McAvoy (X-Men, Split) Bruce Willis (Die Hard, Unbreakable) Sarah Paulson (Carol, 12 Years A Slave) Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch) & Samuel L. Jackson (Avengers, Django Unchained).  Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities. Unbreakable to me is an amazing movie and M. Night did have his downs and lost his touch and fan base with follow up releases. I remember sitting in the theater and the first trailer for “the visit” came on and when his name popped up as director the entire audience laughed. I will say however when I saw “the visit” I thought M. Night was getting back in form so when split hit it was truly a great movie especially the tie in at the end with David Dunn letting us know that it was connected to unbreakable. So let’s talk about the closing of the trilogy that is “Glas...

Exploring the sacrifices and costs on the Nation and Neil himself, during one of the most dangerous missions in the history of space travel. Damian Chazelle is a master when it comes to incorporating story with music and has proved it with La La Land and Whiplash. Here he is again working with Ryan Gosling on a character piece and thinking about it now all of his movies focus solely on character more than anything else. There has been controversy about is this movie patriotic why the flag was not shown planted and all this...
