Night School is the latest entry from Kevin Hart as he continues to thrive for comedic dominance. This time his dance partner is Tiffany Haddish. Haddish is coming off a hot year filled with wins including an Emmy win. Overseeing this combination is Will Packer. The same Will Packer that gave Tiffany her big break. One would think that with such a successful team the product would be better; however, it pains me to say that Night School is not that product.

Kevin once again is playing "Kevin" even with a character name of Teddy. He's once again down on his luck using his charm and savvy to gain access and appeal. This may have worked when we were first introduced to Kevin's humor but grows old the more, we see it. The premise of this movie had potential.

This was Tiffany's opportunity to stand out as a comedic lead with her name above the marquee however neither Hart nor Haddish delivered. The charm of this movie is the supporting crew or better said his Night School classmates. They are the comedic driving force providing the funny. Mary Lyn Rajskub is delightful as the teen mom turned suburban housewife. Romany Malco another actor that has worked with Will Packer is hilarious as "the woke" Jaylen. Rounding out this band of misfits are Rob Riggle, Taran Killam as Teddy's old high school rival now principal, Fat Joe as an inmate, and Al Madrigal as Luis the waiter/lyft driver. They are ones that deliver the comedic relief.

As delightful as they are, they can't save this movie. We have seen this stick before. The love story is unnecessary and the high school speech long and winded. Kevin Hart has made enough films and been around long enough. He is a bona fide draw, but amongst all those elements, he's yet to figure out how to put together a good movie not just a bunch of cheap stick. If the goal as an Entertainer/Comedian is to climb to the level of an Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor Kevin needs to become a better actor and start giving us something memorable. His fans are incredibly loyal, and they deserve a better movie.

There's been a lot of talk amongst funny, especially amongst black comedians. Although comedy is subjective, I think we all can agree that Kevin has achieved the ability to put butts in the seat, but he's a long road from giving us an experience. The two legends he's chasing gave us that. Tiffany Haddish is still at the beginning of her movies career and did all she could with this role. In the end, we have an overhyped movie that fails to deliver.
