I find it to be the most subjective genre of them all. One man\u2019s <em>Young Frankenstein <\/em>is another man\u2019s <em>Tommy Boy<\/em>. British humor, Lewis Black, Sarah Silverman, Adam Sandler. You either love or hate. It\u2019s either funny to you or not. Politics, religion and comedy. The three topics better left untouched.<br \/>\nSo do I recommend <em>Get Hard<\/em> to you?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/a23.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/a23.jpg\" alt=\"a2\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8604\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe weenie\/wussy answer is absolutely! IF you are a Kevin Hart and\/or Will Ferrell fan and the concept looks funny to you. It delivers for those people. I am one of those people. I laughed throughout just watching the two riff off each other. This is the best Will Ferrell comedy since <em>Stepbrothers <\/em>in 2008. He does not stretch in any way. He is Will Ferrell doing the Will Ferrell thing. Just as Kevin Hart is playing the typical Kevin Hart role. I found it very funny despite the inner-critic in me telling me \u201cNo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See the critic\u2019s answer is the movie is lazy. They spend very little time developing any type of plot. Alison Brie is a one-dimensional caricature playing Ferrell\u2019s vapid fianc\u00e9. She\u2019s better than that. In fact, the entire film is populated with nothing but caricatures and stereotypes. Ferrell plays a very racist person and much of the humor is derived from his terrible view on minorities.<\/p>\n<p>But this is not a sociology lesson. And you can argue that Ferrell is portrayed as an idiot completely out of touch with the entire world around him. It is not mean spirited. But it does perpetuate stereotypes and is calling out a POV that is dying.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/a33.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cinemastance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/a33.jpg\" alt=\"a3\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8605\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSo here\u2019s the wrap up. If you think the movie looks good, go and see it. You will be entertained. You will laugh. You will not gain insight regarding race relations. You will be reminded multiple times that Kevin Hart is a very tiny man.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not a fan of the Hart\/Ferrell match up, stay away. In fact you are not even reading this because why would you care if you don\u2019t care?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedies are tough to write about.
