Review of Get Hard (2015) by Ashley D — 19 Apr 2015
I had to leave a 5 star on here to help the low ratings everyones giving this because I can't believe it wasn't received better! Especially when older crappy movies with the same plot setup have gotten good reviews. Its an overdone concept no doubt...usually done as the "two funny cop partners" movie scenario, but this way, as two "criminals', was 1000x better.
Its seriously, one of Will Ferrell's best movies. If you liked Step brothers, watch this. Will Ferrell & Kevin Hart = the BEST ACTOR COMBINATION ever. They were perfect together. They both have very particular comedy styles & together its on another level. So many funny lines & expressions I couldn't stop laughing.
On the flipside, Im really not a fan of graphic sexual jokes & this movies had a lot of them but with that said....it worked. It touches on a lot of heavy stereotypes & uncomfortable subjects that are usually taken too serious or done in an artsy way to make it "acceptable" but this movies presents it in such an outrageous way so that you have to laugh at it & see its ridiculous. It doesn't take itself too seriously & critics shouldn't have either. Its a lighthearted comedy & it certainly achieved that & more.
White supremacy, black gang's, rich white bankers, gold digging hoe types...you name it this movie makes fun of it. Watch it & enjoy a great movie with lots of "I-shouldn't-laugh-at-that-but-its-so-funny moments. Like their Crenshaw gang names....."Mayo & Cho'co' lat.....yes!
