Get Hard
Only a week removed from its SXSW premiere, the $40 million Warner Bros. Picture Get Hard finally heads to the big screen. Over the last month, film stars Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart have been on a nationwide promotional campaign for the upcoming mega blockbuster smash they’re expecting to do huge numbers this spring. Without ruining too much of the storyline, Will Ferrell assumes the role of James King, who’s been wrongfully convicted of tax evasion and is preparing himself to serve a 10-year prison sentence.
James hires Darnell Lewis (Hart) for help on how to survive his pending prison bid and essentially get hard to hold his weight among fellow inmates in San Quentin. Whether or not both parties are successful remains to be seen, but this is our first absolute must-watch comedy fix for the second quarter.
