The newest trailer for the questionable comedy GET HARD starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart has arrived. The movie marks the directorial debut of writer Etan Cohen (MEN IN BLACK 3, TROPIC THUNDER) and if you still like a good prison rape joke, there might be something here for you. While it would be very easy for some to be offended by this movie, I’m leaning towards thinking this movie is just stupid and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. That’s just me though, someone who will forget this movie exists after March.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When millionaire hedge fund manager James (Will Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him 30 days to get his affairs in order. Desperate, he turns to Darnell (Kevin Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions, Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison. Together, the two men do whatever it takes for James to “get hard” and, in the process, discover how wrong they were about a lot of things – including each other.
You see what I mean? It’s like BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE for a whole new generation! It hits a lot of cliché notes that make it feel like a comedy from another decade, but it could surprise us I suppose. Stranger things have happened, like the obscene amount of money BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE went on to make.
