Details

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.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
logandenyer17 Has a lot of good laughs but doesn't bring anything new to the comedy genre
Gavin Purtell 'Get Hard' is a straightforward comedy film - rich white guy gets sentenced to jail for fraud, asks black associate to help him prepare for prison life, hijinks ensue. Obviously, it helps when you have two great comedic leads - Ferrell as James, the meek banker, and Hart as Darnell, the car-wash operator trying to support his family. Hart's on a bit of a roll, film-wise, but this was not quite as enjoyable as 'The Wedding Ringer', but much better than 'Ride Along'.The two stars work so well together, with ultra-short Hart's hyper-energy toned down a little and ultra-tall Ferrell playing a meek, polite man-child. It's not too crass, but there is a bit of swearing as Ferrell tries to learn 'smack talk', which is hilarious. Also - too much of his butt, but that's why it's funny I guess! It's at least counter-balanced by Brie (Annie from 'Community') looking great in a corset.Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments as the 30-day countdown until his imprisonment proceeds, with some nice play on stereotypes throughout. A decent support cast - needed more Ron Funches! - not too long and just ridiculous enough to not get too stupid. Not the best comedy you'll ever see, but far from the worst.
Paul Magne Haakonsen 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.
