Unconventional Alfie Wickers is probably the worst teacher ever but he does care about his students a lot. After they finish their GCSEs, Alfie is keen for his favourite class to join him on one final hurrah and what follows is a coming of age story like no other, the best school trip ever!
Childish? Yes, of course; this is schoolboy humour run amok. Funny? Bad Education is unexpectedly hilarious ...

The comedy is broad and the hijinks mostly puerile, with far too many episodes involving threats to and exposure of Alfie's testicles. Other gags, however, are set up with impressive care.
Sadly, there's very little of any merit here, unless you're a Whitehall completist interested in seeing prosthetic recreations of his balls on multiple occasions.
A sequel may be far from a guaranteed prospect, but the pic does establish the elastic-faced Whitehall as a film-anchoring comic presence (and writer) for other, similarly lightweight vehicles.
