Leave your thoughts about Get Hard.
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyGet Hard is not only a bad movie but a profoundly wasted opportunity. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerFerrell and Hart are too likable and crowd-pleasing to let the movie collapse around them. But they’re also too talented for something this wan. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDescends so far into racial stereotyping, offhanded homophobia, class division, sexual coarseness and scatological gags that whatever chemistry the stars might have brought to the table is pretty much dissipated. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyWeighed down by endless jokes about prison rape, relentless homophobia and a bevy of absurd stereotypes, this Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart film sinks into an abyss of failure. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallGet Hard becomes an increasingly unpleasant comedy, wasting two very funny stars in a barrage of prison rape gags, lazy stereotypes, toilet stall indignities and insincere acceptance of people already marginalized in movies. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiHumor often is in bad taste and isn't politically correct, but "Get Hard" takes the wrong tack on the wrong issues at the wrong time. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's hard to believe the man who co-wrote "Tropic Thunder" and "Idiocracy" could be responsible for a movie this dreadful. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerGet Hard quickly descends from an off-putting comedy of opposites to the kind of movie that time and the changing styles of comedy in the modern age will turn into a relic sooner rather than later. |
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustIt's awash in jokes reeking of racism and homophobia, and while I'm sure that the films creators would argue that they're simply trying to air out these differences, they utterly lack the finesse to walk that line. |
| Guff.comFred TopelIt's stupid and immature, but I mean that as a compliment. Stupid and immature is funny. |
