Review of Get Hard (2015) by James O — 17 Apr 2015
Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart star in this comedy about a financial investor that has been accused and convicted of fraud and is looking at 10 years in San Quinten. With 30 days to get his affairs in order, he recruits the only African american he knows to help prepare him for prison. Now, Kevin Hart has never been to prison, but takes the job to earn some much needed cash.
I really enjoyed the physical humor in this movie. A nude Will Ferrell is almost always funny. Sadly, not much else was funny in this movie. The jokes didn't land and the third act felt rushed. From the beginning you know where the story is going, which isn't always a bad thing, but when they got to the ending, it felt very simplified.
Get Hard won't be leaving any lasting marks in film history but if you enjoy Will Ferrell's work, you will enjoy Getting Hard with this movie.
