Not to be overly critical here, but I’m guessing that the script for the upcoming Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell comedy Get Hard was about ten pages long. At least three of those pages were drawings of Will Ferrell dressed up as a “gangsta,” Will Ferrell preparing to fellate a man in a bathroom stall, and Kevin Hart making “Kevin Hart faces.” In fairness, this premise combined with these stars is guaranteed to be profitable, so writing an actual script would have been a waste of energy. Of the 5-7 pages of the script that aren’t illustrations, I’m sure half of them are dedicated to the next two sequels.
As to the trailer itself, well, people often complain that movie trailers for comedies give away all the funniest jokes. We appear to be in luck here. I didn’t spot any of this movie’s funniest jokes in this trailer. I’m not even being a smart-ass; I sincerely believe they didn’t waste any of the things they thought would get their biggest laughs in this trailer. Instead they stuck with the jokes everyone is expecting to see for a movie based around a black guy teaching a why guy how to survive in prison. White guy trying to “act/dress black”? Check. Prison sexual assault joke? Check. White guy says some shit that makes the black guy say, “Wow, white guys are actually pretty crazy”? That’s a check. We also get an appearance by Will Ferrell’s ass, which has to have its own agent and SAG card by now.
There’s really nothing to get excited about here, unless you’re any of the parties who stands to benefit from this film’s financial success, in which case you probably already bought a condo off the Redbox rental royalties for Get Hard 3: Get Hardest: Unrated Maximum-Dick-Jokes Edition.
