When a 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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

The material they're working with is always a two-step behind their talents and, though often worthy of a chuckle, makes some unfortunately vulgar turns along the way.

2/5

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.

6/10

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.

An absolutely ridiculous concept, delivered with the comic timing and hilarious sincerity that just makes it work. Ferrell and Hart doing what they do best!

As long as you aren't expecting The Godfather and are expecting a serviceable Ferrell and Hart pairing with quite a few bad jokes, you'll be in for a pretty good time.
