Get Hard
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.

So much average
Memorable, crazy movie
Excellent but underrated film
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
James King (Will Ferrell) is a rich broker on his way to jail. Darnell (Kevin Hart) washes his car. King has got 30 days to get his affairs in order and hires Darnell (Kevin Hart) to teach him to "get hard" so he won't be bullied (or worse) in prison. Most of the film consists of Hart teaching Ferrell a bunch of dumb stuff doing racial and gay humor. Eventually they get around to gee, maybe he is innocent, let's figure this out.Most of the humor was juvenile. Some scenes they carried out too long. The disgusting scenes tended to be short. I admit that I had to laugh out loud several times during a film that the audience certainly enjoyed more than I did. At times I felt I was watching "48 Hours" meets "Trading Places." I am not a fan of either star in this film. They can't act and individually I don't find them funny. They seemed to do well acting as a straight man for each other so neither one hogged the scene. Soft 4 stars.Guide: F-bomb, sex. Brief nudity including Ferrell's butt or body double.
I went in with no expectations - and was pleasantly surprised. While it's a little bit too foolish at times "Get Hard", is an intelligent satire poking fun at society, the gap between rich and poor, racism, LGBT and the American dream in a healthy, cheerful way.
When millionaire James King is jailed for fraud and bound for San Quentin, he turns to Darnell Lewis to prep him to go behind bars. Get Hard is another yet dumb comedy starring Will Ferrell an actor that i can't simply stand sure he has some good movies but only a few also starring Kevin Hart who basically plays Kevin Hart once more although he is an alright actor this film has this dumb humor and one liners that every comedy has this days although it does have some nice moments 1 or 2 at least but still it's not an excuse for a poor film starring 2 comedians that aren't always as funny as some people or critics think and that's why i'll give it a 5/10.
Just awful.After seeing the trailer I thought Id give it a go but unfortunately instead of witty humour every now and then what I expected it's just full of over used situation jokes.I expected way more from Will Ferrel and I admit he has made some fairly decent comedies but this one is just a plain disgrace for his career. It is probably just about pleasing the US audience which is apparently getting dumber and dumber.The acting feels amateur a lot of the times and the script is very badly written. Cant say anything positive about it.
