Review of Get Hard (2015) by Richard B — 01 Aug 2015

I really like Will Ferrell, but am not a huge fan of Kevin Hart (sometimes he is funny, but never been a fan) so I was kind of torn on this film and once it got poor reviews I knew I could wait until DVD.

This film has its really funny parts and Will Ferrell is very funny at certain points, but overall this film has tons of problems. One is that some scenes aren't that funny and go on for way too long (Kevin Hart pretending to be different people was just terrible and hard to watch, the prison riot scene was stupid, etc.

..) Another problem was the plot was incredibly terrible and predictable, even given that is a bad comedy. And finally, I didn't like Alison Brie's role at all, since she such a likable person and actress, it didn't make sense to cast her as an unlikable character.

Overall, there are some funny parts in the film, but for the most part I was fairly disappointed with this film even though I liked parts.
