The Bad Education Movie - Review (Sort of)

Basically this is just me wanting to talk about this film because I saw it today and liked it.


Now, I'm no film critic so don't expect anything in depth or good. I just wanted to tell you guys about this film because I saw it today - rather spontaneously - and really enjoyed it! However first and foremost I just want to mention that I don't intend to put any spoilers of the story line in here so I'm just saying this now as a warning in-case I do accidentally let something slip. Know that I didn't mean to and lets still be friends. Please? Yes? Okay? Awesome!

From the first series in 2012, I have always been a fan of Jack Whitehall's Bad Education. Having watched and been a fan of each series it was then pretty exciting to know that it was being made into a film, as it was quite sad knowing the series had come to an end last year. However, I must admit I was a little worried, as I didn't want the series, which ended on such a high, to then be remembered as something that wasn't that good because of the film spin off. Or film addition? Well - film either way right?

My worries were (as usual) for nothing! The film was - personally - hilarious! Full of randomness and fun I honestly could not stop laughing throughout. It had quite a intriguing - if a bit odd story line though - although as promised I wont delve into that because I don't want to risk spoiling it for you. Just know that its not too 'silly' like I'd imagined it might have been. Well okay, certain parts were a little far fetched but it was in a good way I guess. No joke seemed too stretched out and nothing was repeated in a effort to gain another laugh. Every funny part that happened in the film stirred a genuine laugh... from me anyway. (Does that almost sound review like? Check me out)

To give you an idea of what the film is like I would say imagine The Inbetweeners films. Like Bad Education it started as a very successful TV series and then into two films. The tone and humour of Bad Education is also very similar to that of The Inbetweeners. So basically - if you're a fan of Will, Simon, Neil and Jay chances are you'll be a fan of Alfie Wickers and his class.

I must say however the film would probably be more enjoyable for fans of the series rather than watching it as a stand alone film. I think this simply because by watching it as a stand alone film certain elements may feel unexplained or confusing. (Don't let that deter you though if you haven't seen the series before!)

And that's pretty much it for today. Sorry again for any spelling mistakes or confusing parts. I know I'm not the best writer/blogger in the world but I really am enjoying this and I really do appreciate and thank you guys for reading! I hope you enjoyed my 'sort of' review and if you have seen the film too let me know your thoughts!

The image I found here by the way.

P.S. The film also stars Iain Glen A.K.A. Ser Jorah from Game of Thrones!
