Only Tiffany Haddish Could Make Night School Worth Watching

It was only last summer, in Malcolm D. Lee's ebullient and raunchy Girls Trip, that Tiffany Haddish surfed into view like a comic Venus on the half shell: She was so vibrant, she made every scene sing. Her timing, both loose-limbed and sure-footed, meant she could ride the wave of even the most ridiculous joke with ease.

Haddish is now in high demand, but her glorious--and deserved--ascent doesn't mean every project is worthy of her.
