TheWrap -
Ferrell and Hart don’t bring anything that we haven’t seen from them before, but they create a bouncy, playfully defiant rapport. It’s promising enough that you wish they could have made a movie in which they’re just making us laugh, instead of leaving us wondering how every third scene could be made less offensive.

The Guardian -
I don’t believe that Get Hard sets out to be hurtful, and there are some good gags... but it does seem dumb and dated.

The Hollywood Reporter -
A passably silly but lowbrow buddy comedy.

|
Movie Nation -
Ferrell is as fearless as ever, stripping down and looking foolish, willing to be out-of-touch and out of step. Hart has his manic moments. But in this buddy comedy, the buddies are not equal and that limits the laughs.

Village Voice -
Get Hard is most comfortable — and funny — when Cohen gets back to skewering class warfare.
