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.

National Newspaper Publishers Association

Hart and Ferrell make this movie raunchy, silly, hysterical and fun.

Flavorwire

Obvious, lazy, tone-deaf, and mean-spirited - and that, friends, is hard to laugh at.

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.

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

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

They're a pretty incredible comic duo even in a remarkably average film.

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.
