Ice Cube and Charlie Day star as high school teachers prepared to solve their differences the hard way. On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line. But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throwdown after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and ends up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.
I had high hopes for this movie just because I'm a huge fan of Charlie Day. I think that those expectations might have worked against this movie. It ended up being absolutely hysterical towards the end but it took what felt like way too long to get there and there were not enough laughs along the way too. Charlie Day playing the straight guy was weird and it really only started becoming funny once he was more unhinged.
The movie was a decent watch with decent laughs that got much bigger towards the end. I wouldn't really recommend it though because of way too much dull and down time building up to the laughs though.
