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.

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.

Hart and Ferrell make this movie raunchy, silly, hysterical and fun. Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey Flavorwire 05/28/2016
Obvious, lazy, tone-deaf, and mean-spirited - and that, friends, is hard to laugh at. Go to Full Review
Alex Abad-Santos Vox 12/14/2015
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 02/02/2021
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 12/04/2020
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

They're a pretty incredible comic duo even in a remarkably average film. Go to Full Review

Ed R @JustcallmeER Jan 14 Not sure why the hate for this movie. It was fun and hilarious. A movie about Will Ferrell's character who was framed for a white collar crime and his preparation into lockdown. See more Frans B @FransB Oct 5 Not very funny, well, that's obvious if you know Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. Funny (funny peculiar, not funny ha-ha) storyline, ambiance and general look. Good cinematography though. Not very well written it seems, a bit over the top melodrama, even for Hollywood. Rest of cast pretty good in character, mildly entertaining See more Leah O Aug 22 I really enjoyed Kevin and will's dynamic easy watch funny raunchy and fun See more peanutbutter m Aug 12 So bad. I really believe Kevin Heart is so annoying, that almost everythimg he is in becomes crap. See more CJ D. @CJD24 Jul 31 Very Funny, Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart are a great duo See more Evan W Jul 30 It feels like hollywood slop off a conveyor belt. Mind-numblingly unfunny, not a single joke landed. Kevin Hart plays the same cardboard character he does in every movie and Will Ferrell puts in about as much effort into this roll as you'd expect (none). See more Read all reviews
