Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

If crude humor and F-bombs put you off, skip this. If these things don't, it's a fast, funny 1-1/2 hours, especially if you're a teacher or have a relative who is one. It's derivative. It doesn't break new ground. But the casting is perfect, and the performance spot-on. You probably would have not wanted to pay to see it on the big screen, but as a rental, you'll LOL.

Yeahh, this movie is crap. Completely random plot and below the par dialogue. What, the school is pretty much firing every teacher that are shown in the entire movie except for one but they're still planning to keep the school running? There's a story of a pusharound who everyone knows is a pussy, and as a cliché of all clichés, towards the end of the movie he'll finally become a man. But in the meantime he just runs around irritating everyone (viewers the most), trying to bribe and lie his way out of a fist fight. Dude who didn't even know how to make a fist with his hand, suddenly knows how to fight and almost wins. A daughter who can't really even get a word out of her mouth during a talent show all of a sudden starts rapping with a megaconfidence throwing around profanities. It just gets boring and doesn't even deliver as a light and stupid entertainment that I guess it's meant to be. It's more irritating than fun.

Review: I wasn't that impressed with this movie, because I found the jokes unfunny and the concept was a bit ridiculous. Ice Cube plays an extremely angry teacher called Ron Strickland, who doesn't let the kids at his high school, get away with anything. Most of the other teachers are petrified of him, so they stay out of his way, while the pupils are causing havoc around the school. With the headmaster making cuts, Andy Campbell (Charlie Day) is scared of losing his job, and with his wife being heavily pregnant, and his little daughter due to perform at school, he struggles to teach English to the disrupted kids, who can't help misbehaving. When one of the kids in Ron's class keeps on turning off the video with his phone, Ron loses his cool in front of Andy, and he takes an axe to his desk, scaring the life out of the pupils. Andy & Ron are then asked to explain what happened in the classroom, and Andy is forced to tell the headmaster what Ron had done, because his job is on the line. Ron is immediately sacked, and he tells Andy that he wants to fight him after school, because he "snitched" on him, so he tries his utmost to try and get out of the fight. With everyone telling him how dangerous and vicious Ron is, Andy if faced with the challenge of his life, and now that the fight has gone on social media, there is no way of backing out of the fight. Its quite a far fetched movie, which has a couple of funny moments but that was about it. The fight scene wasn't bad but the whole build up became annoying after a while. Charlie Day's constant grovelling became tedious, and Ice Cube's usual gangsta' attitude seemed totally unnecessary. If you don't take the movie that seriously, which you can't, then it's watchable but I can't seem people watching it twice. Average!Round-Up: Although this movie made a profit at the box office, I really can't see were the $25 million budget went, because it's all filmed in a school with B list actors. It's the first movie from Richie Keen, 34, who has directed mostly for TV. It was good to see Tracey Morgan back on the big screen, after his fatal car accident, and Jillian Bell added her usual dry humour, which pushed the boundaries. I wasn't that disappointed, mainly because my expectations wasn't that high but I personally think that the director could have done a lot more with this concept.Budget: $25million Worldwide Gross: $41.1millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their comedies, starring Ice Cube, Charlie Day, Tracy Morgan, Jillian Bell, Dean Norris, Christina Hendricks and Dennis Haysbert. 4/10

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. It's shot, produced, and cut very well. The material is well written and you can tell they had a lot of fun making this. You've got Charlie Day, Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan, a live-action version of Archer's "Pam", and Hank from Breaking Bad; this cast is perfect for being wack! You obviously have to suspend some disbelief to enjoy it just like any comedy, especially one set in a High School. It's a movie about Redemption and the consequences that follow based on our actions, we learn that words are always going to matter, regardless of the circumstances. If you want a "Bad Teacher" type of movie or just a "screw the system" kind of film then this is definitely the one for you.
