Get Hard is a comedy from first time director Etan Cohen. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart star with supporting roles by Alison Brie, Edwina Findley, Craig T. Nelson and rapper T.I.
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.
Cohen waxes poetic about his starring duo and their different comedic makeups. “They’re both incredible comedians but in really different ways, with different energies. Will is like a comedy Zen master, where everything kind of flows through him, and Kevin is more of an alchemist and perpetual motion machine who creates stuff out of nowhere. You know from the get-go they’re going to be great together and bounce off each other in a phenomenal way and it’s going to be a lot of fun seeing them parody these characters — not only in their interactions with each other, but with nearly everyone else they encounter.”
Get Hard is rated 14A.
