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

Kyle M Based off the thin plot’s comedic foundation with juvenile repetition, the film failed its eponymous objective in terms of deliverance, not taking its idea seriously to connective laughable levels. Both Ferrell and Hart nonetheless tickled the funny bone rather independently based off their own signature energy being the decent success despite not at the level that initially compelled the film. (B-) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review William B Absurdly funny prison comedy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Libby C "Get Hard" starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart is a raucous comedy that delivers laughs aplenty. While the premise may raise eyebrows, the duo's comedic chemistry and outrageous antics keep the film entertaining. It's a wild ride filled with absurd humor that's sure to leave audiences chuckling. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review alan g One of the worst movies ever. Two morons who think they are actors spend 2 hours mugging for the camera. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Ciaran S A wasted potential of a movie this is. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review stephen b Maybe it would make a one-off good SNL skit. It's not a feature length film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
