Get Hard-Teen Movie Review
Making money is easy for James King (Will Ferrell), he’s a successful stockbroker who enjoys his luxurious lifestyle, the local country club, and his high-end Audi. He cherishes that Audi and frequents the car wash weekly, he even has a regular car-wash guy named Darnell (Kevin Hart). Life is good for James, he’s engaged to a beautiful woman whose father (Craig T. Nelson) makes him a partner in his firm. However, things dramatically change for James. During his engagement party the Feds come and arrest him for tax-evasion charges and eventually he is sentenced to ten years in prison. How will the privileged James survive in prison? He can’t even survive without his maid and staff. James turns to Darnell, the car-wash guy. He assumes that Darnell has been in prison and can help him survive the horrendous prison way of life. Now the adventure begins as Darnell trains James on how to handle living in prison cell. Even though he’s never been in prison, and even though James is innocent, the odd couple manage to stir up trouble as they become good friends.

Talking Points:
- There aren’t any powerful or inspirational messages, however there are some humorous and entertaining parts in the film.
- Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart are in the film, which will attract pre-teens. This is a very inappropriate R rated comedy, not for kids.
Sexual Content: Excessive
- James is terrified of getting raped in prison, so Darnell prepares him on what to do and how to handle any homosexual activity. He takes James to a gay club and sets him up to perform oral sex on another man. We see them in the bathroom stall together.
- We see topless woman, bare backsides, and a man’s private parts.
- We see a couple in a sexual encounter.
Violent/Disturbing Content: Excessive
- A character almost gets his face ripped off by a motorcycle wheel.
- We see fist fights, gun shots and character’s severely beaten.
- In one scene we see a knife protruding from James’ forehead. This was disgusting.
Crude or Profane Language: Excessive
- The f-word is said numerous times throughout the film. We also hear, “a–,” “b–ch,” “h–,” and “d–n.”
Drug and Alcohol Content: Excessive
- Character’s are shown drinking wine, whiskey and beer.
- We see character’s smoking joints.
Will Teens Like It? Yes
- As I previously mentioned with Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell starring in the film, kids will find it entertaining and humorous.
Overall this is an R rated raunchy comedy not for kids, pre-teens or even teens.
