Get Hard

2015 · 100 min

A loud, crude buddy comedy that coasts on improv riffs and racial jokes, funny in fits but often cringe-inducing.

Directed by: Etan Cohen
Genres: Comedy, Crime
Starring: Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Alison Brie

Tagline: An education in incarceration.
Overview: When millionaire 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 desperately 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.
