Fist Fight (15)

Comedy

When one school teacher gets the other fired, he is challenged to an after-school fight.

The critical consensus

Ice Cube and Charlie Day lead a strong cast in an otherwise disappointing and daft comedy.

What makes the film such dispiriting viewing, though, is the witless prurience of the screenplay. If the kids seem dumb, they don’t have anything on the filmmakers.

Ice Cube and Charlie Day play teachers who opt for an after-school ruckus in this rowdy but bland comedy.

(*) (*) (*) Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 02/03/2017

All the amusement value of a smack in the mouth.

(*) (*) (*) (*) Olly Richards, Empire Online, 03/03/2017

A bullying mob mentality informs this far-fetched tale of a fight between American high school teachers.
