Cape Argus / The Star
Masego Panyane quote iconFilm raises some good laughs.

Graye Morkel quote iconDespite the comedy hiccups, Hart and Haddish save Night School from what would otherwise have been a barely passable comedy.

ScreenIt
Jim Judy quote iconIn the end, you’ll wish that those involved had gone to night school and taken screenwriting and comedy classes to give us something better than this offering that fails far too often and makes one hope Haddish gets pickier in terms of finding projects to fill and finish out her 80 before 50 quota.

Tomatometer quote iconNight School’s funny stars and seemingly promising setup add up to a disappointingly scattershot comedy whose laughs are largely held in detention.
