Get
Hard,
from Director/Writer Etan Cohen (writer of Tropic
Thunder),
has some moments are that are pretty funny but a paper thin plot that
is almost as predictable as Paul
Blart Mall Cop 2.
Presented here Unrated with scenes not seen in theaters, the film
stars Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. If you're a fan of both then it
is pretty fun to see their chemistry on screen. They definitely play
off each other very well, especially in later scenes of the film
where their friendship blossoms through many outrageous acts.
When
obscenely rich hedge-fund manager James (Will Ferrell) is convicted
of fraud and sentenced to a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives
him one month to get his affairs in order. Knowing that he won't
survive more than a few minutes in prison on his own, James
desperately turns to Darnell (Kevin Hart) -- a black businessman
who's never even had a parking ticket -- for help. As Darnell puts
James through the wringer, both learn that they were wrong about many
things, including each other.
The
film looks fantastic on disc with incredible details on skin tones
and details in a crisp 1080p high definition transfer with a lossless
DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 track and a widescreen image in 1.85:1.
There's also a digital copy of the film.
I
want to add that I really enjoyed Alison Brie in this film. Her
parts are minimal and her character is basically that of Ferrell's
snobby 'rich bitch' wife, but I think she's absolutely gorgeous and
hope to see her in more roles in the future. The scenes with her and
Ferrell are spot on and she's especially hilarious in the scene
involving John Mayer at Ferrell's Birthday Party in the film.
Extras
include...
Deleted
Scenes
Get
Hard Line-O-Ramas
The
Kevin Hart Workout
Ferrell
Fighting
Gag
Reel
And
more (meaning trailers for other Warner Brothers releases).
All
in all, Get
Hard
is a disposable comedy but not as bad as one might expend. If you
are fan of both comedians then it's definitely worth a watch.
