Reviews for this film from our members:
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Dos de los mayores gansos de la comedia USA moderna unen fuerzas para hacernos reír durante un rato… y pasar a otra cosa. Una comedia entretenida, sin más, que no llamará excesivamente la atención dentro del inmenso catálogo genérico en el que se integra.
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: The problem is that ‘Get Hard,’ contrary to Hart’s defense, isn’t funny; it just doesn’t work, and if it did, no one would mind much how it got those laughs. But “what area it’s coming from” becomes part of that equation, because the people who made it didn’t bother to think through what they were satirizing, what they wanted to say, or how they wanted to say it.
- Nicholas Bell @ Ioncinema
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: It’s really nothing more than a raunchy comedy, and that’s okay. It made me laugh.
- Robert Cashill @ http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/show/the-john-hines-show/
- Excerpt: Review from the 3/26 broadcast.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Pairing Ferrell’s looming, kooky calm with Hart’s pint-sized, pugnacious bluster proves a complimentary meshing, rising star Hart’s incredulous observer an audience stand-in for Ferrell’s boor-out-of-water style comedy.
- Andy Crump @ Paste Magazine
- Excerpt: If there’s a lesson learned in all this, it’s that Ferrell and Hart ought to make more movies together.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: The filmmakers committed the crime, but it’s the audience that’s going to do the time. 100
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Here is an ounce of credit to Get Hard for avoiding any mention of the innuendo involving an inmate dropping the soap in the prison shower.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: One may be patient with raunchy stupidity – but not with those who are proud of it.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: In Get Hard, Ferrell and Hart are the worst comedy duo since Clooney and O’Donnell in Batman & Robin.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: All the comedic and visual elan of an amateur YouTube fratboy prank, include nonstop rape jokes and rampant homophobia. Are you laughing yet?
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Will Ferrell & Kevin Hart choose an awful script for their take on the ebony and ivory buddy comedy
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Get Hard is better than it looks, which is to say that it’s still not very good but not intolerably awful.
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: Sometimes it seems like the film is trying to make a point about race and class, but those attempts are ultimately drowned out by an uninspired, thoroughly un-subversive narrative that overly reliant on stereotypes.
- [New – 10/1/15] | Jared Mobarak @ Jared Mobarak Reviews
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Descends 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.
