Kevin Hart is the writer and star of a new movie called "Night School." Its straightforward premise, per imdb: "A group of troublemakers who are forced to attend night school in hopes that they'll pass the GED exam to finish high school."

The movie reunites "Girls Trip" director and producer Malcolm D. Lee and super-producer Will Packer. Packer and Hart are frequent collaborators, having put out comedy hits including "The Wedding Ringer," "Think Like a Man" and its sequel and the two Atlanta-filmed "Ride Along" movies (No. 3 is reportedly on the horizon).
