‘Night School’ doesn’t make the grade

by Savanna Keller Typically, people watch comedy movies to sit down, relax, and step away from the stress that life can bring. Comedies are a great source of light-hearted entertainment that promise a good laugh, and Night School (released September 28) seems like a movie that will do just that. This movie is produced by Will Packer, the same man responsible for producing the movies Ride Along and Girls Trip, and Kevin Hart, the star of the movie. Teddy Walker, a man who struggles with learning disabilities, drops out of high school and makes a point of proving he can have an amazing life without an education. In the beginning he has it all, an awesome car, a successful salesman job selling outdoor patio furniture with the promise of one day owning the business, and let’s not forget the ever-popular movie trope: the hot dream girl that every man wants, Lisa (Megalyn Echikunwoke). After a proposal gone wrong, Teddy blows up his place of employment and his world is turned upside down. To get a new job, he must attend night school.
