Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart Get Hard in New Trailer (Wait, what?)

Two things I want to get out of the way first. 

1. Sorry for the title....I couldn't resist 

2. If you're looking for a poster or still from this movie, don't Google image search 'Get Hard' without adding 'Movie' to the end of the search, learn from my mistakes people. 

Get Hard feels like the transitioning of the old to new guard of comedy giants in Hollywood. I don't say passing the torch because I don't think Ferrell's quite done yet but certainly Kevin Hart has taken that #1 spot that used to be firmly planted in the pocket of Will Ferrell. Honestly, having the two in the same movie feels like it should collapse the universe with the amount of hilarity it will bring. Visually opposite in every way Ferrell and Hart couldn't be more similar in what they bring to roles, I don't just mean that they're both funny, it's that they both can do the same bit in everything they do and it just doesn't seem to get old. That's what this trailer for Get Hard shows us. You have Hart being the ultimate non-badass little man and Ferrell every bit the middle America goofball, and it works. In a plot setup that's been overly done in the C to D list over the last year (see: Big Stan and Let's Go to Prison) Ferrell and Hart prove the difference between themselves and the likes of Rob Schneider and Dax Shepard as leading funny men. The movie's plot seems pretty simple, sheltered white guy gets sentenced to prison and, thanks to typical rich white guy stereotyping, goes to his black friend to find out how to not become someone's girlfriend. Every second of this trailer goes to the most obvious place you can think of but still I'm sitting here cracking up. Check it out for yourself and tell me you're not laughing as well. 

Get Hard hits theaters March 27th, 2015

Kevin Hart Toughens Up Will Ferrell in First Trailer for 'Get Hard'

A couple of years ago Will Ferrell starred in The Other Guys, in which he and Mark Wahlberg helped take down a Bernie Madoff-type white collar criminal. Now the shoe is on the other foot in Get Hard, a comedy in which he's the one percenter about to get taught a lesson on how the system works for the underprivileged. And his teacher in this invaluable lesson? Kevin Hart. Cue the hilarity.

The first trailer for Get Hard actually looks very funny, and unafraid to make light of some serious social issues. Ferrell plays James, a naive hedge fund manager convicted of fraud and sentenced to maximum security prison (which would never happen), but living the high life doesn't provide much insight on how things work behind bars. So he enlists the aid of his car washer Darnell (Hart) to help toughen up or "get hard" before he goes to jail. The only problem is Darnell isn't all that tough, either, despite James' clueless assumptions he must be, saying "statistically, you definitely went to prison."

Directed by Etan Cohen with Tip "T.I." Harris and Alison Brie co-starring, Get Hard opens March 27th 2015.

Will Ferrell Benches Kevin Hart in New 'Get Hard' Photos

“It’s that thought everyone has had, " Will Ferrell tells USA Today when discussing his new comedy, Get Hard. "What if, in some unforeseen circumstance, you were mistakenly sentenced to prison? What would you do? You would either try to flee or you would try to prepare yourself for every single scenario. That’s where comedy comes from.”

And comedy is what Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart know best, which is why Get Hard is looking like one of the most promising comedies of 2015. The first photos have been unveiled from the prison laugher, including one hilarious image of Ferrell bench-pressing Hart. Directed by Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder), the film has Ferrell as a timid bank manager convicted of a crime he didn't commit and thrown into a maximum security prison. Hart plays his car washer who has 30 days to get Ferrell toughened up for his time behind bars.

Get Hard opens March 27th.
