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.

What to Know

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 Mar 7, 2017
Hart and Ferrell make this movie raunchy, silly, hysterical and fun. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire May 28, 2016
Obvious, lazy, tone-deaf, and mean-spirited - and that, friends, is hard to laugh at. Go to Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox Dec 14, 2015
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. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Feb 2, 2021
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. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Dec 4, 2020
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. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 8, 2020
2.0/4.0
They're a pretty incredible comic duo even in a remarkably average film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

L. F @RT68678650 Aug 28, 2026 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! See more Jay S @YouMadeYou Aug 4, 2026 Its funny . Has alot of slapstick comedy and stereotypical humor. Its ok See more MariofanAlex445 T @RT47678067 Jul 11, 2026 Probably one of Ferrels better movies to be honest. A fun watch indeed. 4/5 stars. See more William G. @willg Jun 22, 2026 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. See more Nishaun M @RT65119964 Jun 22, 2026 Funny af I don’t know why people are hating on this movie. See more Paul S @PManRager Jun 10, 2026 This was an incredibly fun and whacky movie that was a joy to sit through! The comedic power of Will Ferrell and Kevin Heart was utilized perfectly. I definitely recommend this for comedy and crime fans! See more Read all reviews
