While there are people out there that don’t really find Kevin Hart all that funny, I am not one of those people. I find Hart to be quite funny and typically enjoy his movies, but even I can’t get behind Get Hard. This looks 100% awful and a new red band trailer sets out to provide further proof. Maybe there’s a humorous pay-off and the marketing team is getting all the bad bits out of the way to start, but I’m just not feeling it.

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.
