Get Hard (2015)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Best movie of this year hands down!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Has a lot of good laughs but doesn't bring anything new to the comedy genre

If you're a fan of Will Ferrell or Kevin Hart and in the right mood this is very entertaining. Many LOL moments (the shank in the head) as we follow the obscenely rich Farrell as he's convicted of fraud and sentenced to time in a maximum security prison. With a month to get his affairs in order 'James' hires Hart, a man he just assumes is an ex-con to coach him on surviving his incarceration. 'Darnell' puts James through the motions and the movie comes close to crossing the line with racism humour and a lot of buggery jokes. Although I felt they were making fun of both, whatever its a very juvenile style comedy and I got some laughs.

I had my fear that this might turn out to be just another Will Ferrell comedy, but luckily it turned out to be anything but that. "Get Hard" was a very funny and entertaining movie, and I must admit that I am glad that I did take the time to sit down and watch it."Get Hard" is about James (played by Will Ferrell) whom is framed for fraud and sentenced to go to 10 years in prison. He has 30 days to conclude his affairs before having to go to prison. He decides to get help from Darnell (played by Kevin Hart) in order to be ready for prison.The story in "Get Hard" was filled with funny moments and hilarious scenes, and it was so nicely brought to life on the screen by Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart.The chemistry between Ferrell and Hart is really unique and that is reflected on the screen. They act quite well opposite one another, and each compliments the other nicely on the screen. It was also nice to have Craig T. Nelson in the movie, despite of having a minor role only.I was laughing a lot throughout the course of this movie, and the comedy in "Get Hard" is really great.This is indeed a good comedy movie, and it is definitely well worth watching if you are looking for a proper comedy movie.

Framed for a white collar crime, a wealthy pompous buffoon hires an African American acquaintance to train him for prison life in this Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart comedy vehicle. 'Get Hard' is not exactly a high concept movie and Ferrell's character trajectory is fairly predictable from the get-go, however, the film offers a surprisingly large amount of laughs with Hart in fine form and Edwina Findley Dickerson sassy as his wife. A memorable scene has Hart and Ferrell mistaken for a gay couple with their use of the title phrase out of context, though Hart's training sequences are what stand out most vividly afterward. In a kooky touch, Ferrell allows Hart to turn his mansion into a makeshift prison as part of the training, complete with bars, phone queue and moody inmates (played with relish by Ferrell's disgruntled servants). Hart also has an awesome scene in which he pretends to be three different courtyard criminals at once - something that confuses Ferrell so much that he begins genuinely conversing with all three personae as if they were in fact three different people. The film unfortunately runs out of steam around halfway in with only so much humour possible from Ferrell's bungled attempts to act tough. Ferrell's "unorthodox style of cussing" (as Hart describes it) also grows incredibly irksome as the film wears on. The climax on board a yacht is pretty well done though with all of Ferrell's training finally paying off. Craig T. Nelson additionally makes for a pitch perfect smarmy antagonist even if his crookedness is telegraphed from a little too early in the proceedings.
