When obscenely rich hedge-fund manager James (Will Ferrell) 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 (Kevin Hart) -- 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.

Critics Consensus

A waste of two fine funnymen, Get Hard settles for tired and offensive gags instead of tapping into its premise's boundary-pushing potential.

Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Hart and Ferrell make this movie raunchy, silly, hysterical and fun. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire Obvious, lazy, tone-deaf, and mean-spirited - and that, friends, is hard to laugh at. May 28, 2016 Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox For a movie that wants to send a message about privilege and prejudice, it displays a clumsiness and exemplifies a lot of the ignorance and thoughtlessness it wants to rage against. Dec 14, 2015 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Occasionally offensive-but what R-rated comedy in the last ten years isn't?-but worse than that, it takes the easy way out and in the process wastes the opportunity to dig a bit deeper and make the class warfare comedy a bit richer. Rated: 2/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The film exists in an alternate reality, where lots of guns are waved and no one gets shot, and where deadly situations pop up but result in barely a drop of spilt blood. Rated: 6/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com They're a pretty incredible comic duo even in a remarkably average film. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Cade H. Way more misses than hits in both the writing and delivery aspects of the film Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Koi P Pretty silly but that's the point. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Matthew H Absolutely hilarious Ferrell and hart made a great duo Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review David M This movie is a complete waste of time. Yes the writing is terrible, it's predictable and terribly acted. But what really bothered me was the lighting. Daytime soap opera lighting. I suspect there's a story here about a nephew being indulged to film his first movie with the reluctant cooperation of his uncle and unlucky friend. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Enzo O He got so hard that getting hard makes him soft Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review James S Best movie ever 10/10 funny scenes absolutely underrated it was exquisite and it has been done dirty by these reviews I think it's a better movie than it has been portrayed here I'd give it a watch it's is brilliant a funny relaxing movie that you could just easily sit back to and not a need to think too deeply into it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
