(PCM) Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, undoubtedly two of the successful comedians/actors working, have answered comedy fans’ prayers everywhere and teamed up for Warner Bros. Pictures’ Get Hard.
Get Hard is written and directed by Etan Cohen (Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder) from a screenplay by Jay Martel & Ian Roberts (Key & Peele) from the story by Adam McKay (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Step Brothers) and Jay Martel & Ian Roberts.
Will Ferrell stars as a white collar worker facing hard time in jail and in need of some toughening up. Comically mistaking small business owner Kevin Hart as a hardened street-wise criminal, Ferrell enrolls him as his coach in the 30 days leading up to his sentence.
When Warner Bros. Pictures first acquired the film in 2012, many comparisons were drawn between the plot of Get Hard and Rob Schneider’s Big Stan, a 2007 comedy about a con man who hires a martial arts expert to help him train before he is put in jail in order to fend for himself against the other inmates.
Tip “T.I.” Harris and Alison Brie star alongside Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell in the MArch 27, 2015 release.

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.
