They play the same roles they typically do, with Hart being a pint-sized black man with a lot of bark and little bite and Ferrell being the big, lumbering air head who's innocence and ignorance somehow make him endearing and obnoxious at the same time. However, those roles blend together perfectly in this movie as the two have great on-screen chemistry. The supporting cast is also fantastic and this movie is, overall, a really good comedy that most people will likely enjoy.… Expand

I think the racism was a little over hyped, sure there is some racist humour but its not as plentiful as the critics have been saying. Will Ferrell is really funny as he always is and Kevin Hart wasn't bad either, he had some pretty funny moments. One of the things that was disappointing about Get Hard was that they were putting too many jokes in that were just not funny and there were several but other than that I would enjoy seeing another movie with Ferrell and Hart together and it seems like the two have bonded over the shooting of the movie and I would not be shocked to see it.… Expand

I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard watching a movie in theatres! And that is countless years at least. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of it.

I hate when people complain about offensive humour (talking to all the feminazis, SJW's, neckbeard MRA's and culture vultures) because it is mindlessly immature and funny in situation like this.

To start, this movie had a decent premise, kevin hart has to teach wil ferrell to survive in jail. Awesome idea for a comedy. Does this movie fulfil it's potential? Kinda. On one hand, the chemistry between the two actors is great, I love how will ferrel has to fit in with the ghetto and I loved the amount of slapstick comedy this had to offer. However, there were some points in the movie where I thought it would be easier to just move the conversation along as nothing particularly funny was happening. Overall, Get Hard will make you laugh for the majority of your experience and is filled with offensive humour and stereotypes.… Expand

Comedy finds a winning duo in Hart and Ferrell. The two are able to bounce jokes off of another with ease thanks to their surprising chemistry.

The two are able to bounce jokes off of another with ease thanks to their surprising chemistry. Ferrell does what he does best here, and that's playing an over-the-top and absurd character. Hart's character is more down to earth and tasked with preparing this airhead for prison despite not actually going there himself.

Along the way plenty of laughs ensue. There are plenty of hilarious one-liners and larger set pieces. It's also gives a very amusing look at gang and prison lifestyles. The vulgar and often raunchy style of the humor means that this isn't going to be for everyone, and a lot of the racial humor is bound to offend many, but those without a stick up their butt who don't think everything needs to be prim and proper are sure to find plenty of laughs. Sometimes it's just fun to laugh at the profane, and "Get Hard" gives us plenty of reasons to do that.

It's probably one of the first comedies I've seen with Kevin Hart that doesn't hold the talented comedian back. He's allowed to be his quick-witted, profanity-spewing self when it comes to the jokes and the whole thing is much funnier as a result. The film also makes great use of Ferrell's talent for playing out there characters. The results are hilarious as the two comedians work together excellently. It's a very funny comedy that I recommend as long as you can put up with some offensive humor. Provided you can do that there is a lot to laugh at here. Get Hard takes a potentially disastrous duo and brings them together perfectly.

I give this movie a 9.3/10.… Expand

An old concept with a new pair.

First of all I don't wanna compare it with any movie like the others did. Many reviews bashing that it was rip-off of 'Big Stan'. Yes kind of similar theme, but there's a lot of difference. The concept wasAn old concept with a new pair.

First of all I don't wanna compare it with any movie like the others did. Many reviews bashing that it was rip-off of 'Big Stan'. Yes kind of similar theme, but there's a lot of difference. The concept was the same and the story happens in an alternate way like 'what if'. That means one takes place outside the prison and the other one in the prison. If you're a movie fanatic, you would enjoy the show other than going after flaws and resemblance.

I had seen many weird combos, and I felt same feeling for this Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, when I first heard about it. Like usual, once I watched the movie seem to be okay. Quite a show and equally good, one of the funniest combinations to entertain. I had a few good laughs and enjoyed the film. I would love to get a sequel for this, because these men coming together are double fun. So it should not be wasted ending with a one-off movie, but at least a duology or maybe a trilogy. Gosh, my crazy thought and expectation!

loved this movie, I love the characters, will was funny in this movie but the only problem would be the racial stereotype jokes plus kevin hart wasn't annoying in this one so that's a plus.

If you are into Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell, you should see it. If not, well, you should at least see it anyway. My suggestion, go check out the movie.… Expand

how understanding kevin hart is in this movie makes not down to earth james king (hedgefund manager arrested for a crime he didnt commit) funny. when he first meets kevin hart will ferrell becomes scared because he isnt comfortable around black people and he tries to play it off. however the chemistry between the two actors makes the scene seem more like a misunderstanding then it otherwise would have. will ferrell is basically playing the same character hes played in a thousand movies. he seems like a much zanier not down to earth version of his character from stranger than fiction. kevin hart really makes this movie but will ferrell interactions with the crenshaw kings are actually pretty amusing.… Expand
