By this point you know exactly what to expect from a Will Ferrell or Kevin Hart movie. You can count on some goofy and juvenile humor, some exaggerated overacting, a few slightly uncomfortably honest jokes about race and Ferrell displaying his pale, naked butt. ‘Get Hard’ — their first collaboration — is your standard Ferrell/Hart […]
