When obscenely rich hedge-fund manager James is convicted of fraud and sentenced to a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him one month to get his affairs in order. Knowing that he won't survive more than a few minutes in prison on his own, James desperately turns to Darnell-- a black businessman who's never even had a parking ticket -- for help. As Darnell puts James through the wringer, both learn that they were wrong about many things, including each other.

I had my fear that this might turn out to be just another Will Ferrell comedy, but luckily it turned out to be anything but that. "Get Hard" was a very funny and entertaining movie, and I must admit that I am glad that I did take the time to sit down and watch it."Get Hard" is about James (played by Will Ferrell) whom is framed for fraud and sentenced to go to 10 years in prison. He has 30 days to conclude his affairs before having to go to prison. He decides to get help from Darnell (played by Kevin Hart) in order to be ready for prison.The story in "Get Hard" was filled with funny moments and hilarious scenes, and it was so nicely brought to life on the screen by Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart.The chemistry between Ferrell and Hart is really unique and that is reflected on the screen. They act quite well opposite one another, and each compliments the other nicely on the screen. It was also nice to have Craig T. Nelson in the movie, despite of having a minor role only.I was laughing a lot throughout the course of this movie, and the comedy in "Get Hard" is really great.This is indeed a good comedy movie, and it is definitely well worth watching if you are looking for a proper comedy movie.
Framed for a white collar crime, a wealthy pompous buffoon hires an African American acquaintance to train him for prison life in this Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart comedy vehicle. 'Get Hard' is not exactly a high concept movie and Ferrell's character trajectory is fairly predictable from the get-go, however, the film offers a surprisingly large amount of laughs with Hart in fine form and Edwina Findley Dickerson sassy as his wife. A memorable scene has Hart and Ferrell mistaken for a gay couple with their use of the title phrase out of context, though Hart's training sequences are what stand out most vividly afterward. In a kooky touch, Ferrell allows Hart to turn his mansion into a makeshift prison as part of the training, complete with bars, phone queue and moody inmates (played with relish by Ferrell's disgruntled servants). Hart also has an awesome scene in which he pretends to be three different courtyard criminals at once - something that confuses Ferrell so much that he begins genuinely conversing with all three personae as if they were in fact three different people. The film unfortunately runs out of steam around halfway in with only so much humour possible from Ferrell's bungled attempts to act tough. Ferrell's "unorthodox style of cussing" (as Hart describes it) also grows incredibly irksome as the film wears on. The climax on board a yacht is pretty well done though with all of Ferrell's training finally paying off. Craig T. Nelson additionally makes for a pitch perfect smarmy antagonist even if his crookedness is telegraphed from a little too early in the proceedings.
I came across this flick by seeing the trailer, that looked promising. My only concern was the fact that it was an American comedy and most of them I can't laugh with the jokes being used but Get Hard did make me laugh a whole lot throughout the movie.Be warned that the jokes being used are cruel full of racism and sexuality. The gay scene is really funny but be advised that I have seen the extended version which do show it all. But you will have laugh. It's really a movie for the guys due the jokes, worth picking up, as stupid as hell.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 3/5
"Dick-ade doesn't sound like a significant improvement over dick."I hate when people complain about offensive humour (talking to all the feminazis, SJW's, neckbeard MRA's and culture vultures) because it is mindlessly immature and funny in situation like this. To start, this movie had a decent premise, kevin hart has to teach Will Ferrell to survive in jail. Awesome idea for a comedy. Does this movie fulfil it's potential? Kinda. On one hand, the chemistry between the two actors is great, I love how will Ferrell has to fit in with the ghetto and I loved the amount of slapstick comedy this had to offer. However, there were some points in the movie where I thought it would be easier to just move the conversation along as nothing particularly funny was happening. Overall, Get Hard will make you laugh for the majority of your experience and is filled with offensive humour and stereotypes.67/100
