There are a couple of sly zingers every so often but it’s just a shame the material isn’t a bit sharper.

“The Prank” is no big whoop, but for a good stretch it’s a tartly written, engagingly nasty little comedy of high-school vengeance.

While the plot may be too OTT for some, it is surely these very excesses that make the film the wild ride that it is as it puts the casual cruelty of youth in its crosshairs.

2.5/5

At best, everything is simplified to an almost childish degree. At worst, you could possibly make the argument that this film actually condones certain terrible behaviors.

...a fun ride propelled onward by strong performances...despite some pacing issues that occasionally slow the story..., it’s a darkly comic exploration of the time-honored tradition of intimidated kids making monsters out of mole hills

2/5

This movie didn't work back when it was called 'Teaching Mrs. Tingle,' and it doesn't work now. It relies on flat characters and fails to say much of anything about social media ills or nasty behavior.
