synopsis
The film starts with James King (Will Ferrell) crying hysterically.
One month earlier.
James was an extremely wealthy hedgeFUND
manager, engaged to his gorgeous gold-digging fiancee Alissa (Alison Brie). His car washer, Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) is a married to Rita (Edwina Findley Dickerson) and trying to put their daughter Makayla (Ariana Neal) in a better school away from the bad neighborhood they live in.
James meets Darnell when the latter accidentally frightens James in the parking lot because he assumed Darnell was going to rob him, when he just wanted to give him his keys. James makes a speech about how he got to his success, and to inspire Darnell to go for his. He pulls out a big wad ofCASH
, only to pull out two singles as a "tip" for Darnell.
Alissa hosts an engagement party for herself and James. She gives him an electric guitar as a gift, and she invites John Mayer up onstage to perform. James performs alongside Mayer momentarily until the cops storm in and arrest James for fraud and embezzlement.
James's lawyer Peter Penny (Greg Germann) urges James to go for a guilty plea, but he refuses and insists that he will be exonerated. Instead, everybody thatLOST MONEY
in the embezzlement scheme is out for James's head. The judge finds him guilty and sentences James to ten years at San Quentin, with only 30 days to get his affairs in order. His assets are frozen and he is placed under house arrest. He cuts off the ankle bracelet and tries to flee the country. He drives to a country club to get Alissa to go with him, but she says she has left him and decided to move on. The police then show up and get James. James asks his boss and Alissa's father Martin (Craig T. Nelson) for help.
James encounters Darnell once more in the parking lot, expressing his fears over going to prison. He asks Darnell how he managed in prison, simply assuming he was incarcerated because he is black. An outraged Darnell reminds James that he will most likely be made somebody's bitch once he gets to prison. With that in mind, James begs Darnell to teach him how to toughen up if he wants to survive in prison. Darnell demands payment in the form of $30,000. James agrees to this.
Darnell, who has little idea of how to act tough himself (he gets smacked after calling Rita a bitch), tries to put on a facade of his own to convince James that he can show him how to prepare himself. He calls up his cousin that did go to prison and asks him what went down. To start his "training", Darnell pepper-sprays James upon arriving to his home. He tries to get James to become intimidating with his "mad dog" face, but James can only "sad dog" it.
Darnell tests James in fighting back by creating scenarios in which he must defend himself. He makes James pick fights at the park, only for James to get his ass kicked multiple times. James gets in touch with Martin and says he's getting help. Martin, who is the actual crook, thinks James is onto him and orders his lawyer and a hired gun named Gayle (Paul Ben-Victor) to take care ofBUSINESS
.
With little time left and even less improvement, Darnell figures that James has to learn how to perform oral sex in prison. They go to a gay hook-up spot for James to find a man to suck off. He can't go through with it and tells Darnell (in front of the other curious and interested gay men) that he will keep going and do whatever it takes to get hard. They leave as the men applaud them.
James starts to work out harder and faster. He starts to make shivs just in case, and he keeps one in his anus just in case. Darnell simulates a prison raid with the help acting as inmates. In the chaos, James gets a shiv stuck in his head. Darnell drives James to his home for Rita to get the shiv out. He has dinner and listens to Darnell make up a story of how he went to prison (he just retells "Boyz N The Hood"). Rita asks Darnell why he can't just find the real criminal to help James.
Mere days before his incarceration, James and Darnell resolve for James to join a local gang, the Crenshaw Kings, to protect him in prison. James dresses in a ridiculous outfit that gets unwanted attention. Darnell's cousin Russell (T.I.) runs the gang and isn't convinced that James can pay him and knows that Darnell is lying about prison. James does help the gang gain interest in finance andSTOCKS
.
Darnell drives James to a bar where the Allegiance of Whites gang is. James is unable to be a convincing racist, leading the white supremacists to think he's a cop. They nearly burn his face with a motorcycle tire until Darnell rescues him by bursting in with a flamethrower.
Darnell realizes James is innocent and they conclude that Martin is the crook. They sneak into his home and find the embezzlement records on Martin's old computer. Unfortunately, Gayle finds them and takes the computer back after telling James that Darnell has a clean record and never actually went to prison. James feels betrayed and leaves the garage.
James returns to the Crenshaw Kings with the intention of joining. For his initiation, they want him to kill someone. Darnell arrives in time to stop him and convince him to catch Martin and expose him.
The two find Martin's yacht and sneak on board. They grab the computer, only to come across Gayle and more hitmen. James unleashes a series of capoeira moves on the goons whole Darnell protects the computer. Martin comes out and confesses to the crime, while Alissa steps out and admits that she got in on the scheme. The guys try to get out on the life raft until Gayle shoots it out. James pulls out a gun he kept in his ass and aims it at Gayle until the cops show up just in time.
Martin, Gayle, and Peter Penny are all arrested. James is arrested for stupidly pulling out the concealed weapon, but he only serves six months. He helps the police return the stolenMONEY AND
decides to give Darnell money to expand his car wash business. In the final scene, after the six months are up, Darnell goes to pick James up from prison.

get hard is a film that stars will ferrel and kevin hart who are main stream stand up comedians.get hard will bring both kevin hart's and will ferrel's fans together also maybe other comedians aswell whereas the movie is very funny with much humour and its a great film to bring both family and friends together.
trailer:
this poster seems interesting because it shows upper class man learning how become rough and macho by the help of a friend which is something we don't see every day so this would be interesting to watch
http://gethardmovie.com/#/ - the website is pretty basic with the trailer in the background

remakes
films:remakes
Robocop:
Robocop:
personally i think the first robocop was very entertaining and filled with action.the story plot is very interesting also emotive at the same time .a cop was taken away from his family and turned into a crimefighting machine which made a lot of people angry including dirty cops whereas his family was left neglected with no man in the house.by watching robocop (1987) we can tell its a film that was made a long time ago even though a lot of technology was shown in the movie also by lookng on the graphics .from the audience's point of veiw i would of been satisfied with this film but a re-make would be very interesting .
robocop (2014) it very fresh and filled with new ideas and actors/characters also very exciting .robocop(2014) is a re-make off the orignal robocop that was made in 1987.robocop has a very similar story plot where a man is turned into crime fightimg machine with the hunger of revenge.coming from a veiwers point of veiw i think robocop(2014) is better because its been improved with better graphics,more interesting story plot,
django:
personally i dont like django reinharht i think graphics was very poor and i found it boring but then again the story is interesting.this film wouldnt attract a young person's attention .A re-make of this movie would definitely be nice because there is a lot that could be improved .better soundtracks could have been chosen, more actors could have been used ,graphics could be improved a bit etc.
django unchained is a very good film ,its very intersting and entertaining .its very interesting because it portrayed what happened back in the day when slavery existed what makes it even interesting is the clu-clux-clan and cowboy theme was involved in the film.this is a very good way of explaining history to young people because the message is very strong .better soundtracks was used such as (rick ross-coffens) which spiced spiced it up a lttle because who though such recent track would be used in a movie that is meant to be back in the 1800's .Aslo i loved the graphics i think its a big improvement from the last django that was made also the story plot was alot more interesting .
world's famous sc-fi/thriller/adventure/action god zilla .first of all the graphics is very poor and the movie seems un-realistic.back in the 1980's this movie would of been interesting to watch because the story plot is very interesting and emotional ,maybe now and then gets your adrenaline going because of the booms and bangs involved.apart from the graphics i think godzilla (1985) is very good movie .

white chicks
main characters:
White chicks.it is a popular comedy film that was released in june 2004 starring shawn and Marlon Wayans Who Plays 2 fbi agents and professionals of diguise who went unfortunate in a drug bust gone wrong and caused alot of in convenience and as a punishment they have one last chance to redeem their talents to the federal bareau by pulling off a simple task which was to escort the wilson sisters(blonde twins) who's role was played by maitand ward and tiffany dudek who appeared to be wanted by kidnappers.the only way the fbi agents could protect them was become them.the 2 fbi agents were transformed into two blonde sisters identical to the wilson sisters who set out on a mission to catch the culprit kidnapper .
In the opening scene we see a birds eye view of the city where the camera is slowly roaming over the buildings to a street view of the location point of the main characters would be introduced .when the main characters were introduce they were similarly dressed and disguised as old mexican shopkeepers with big moustaches ,whiskers ,high foreheads and hairy chests with a very funny sense of humor and silly dancing and singing to catch drug dealers which are also disguised as ice cream sellers red handed.
By doing so the fbi agents actually got the wrong guys because they came in looking like bad guys with a very suspicious behaviour and mean looks when actually they were actually selling ice cream.the ice-cream men had the looks,dress and ascent to make a perfect stereo typical villain.
From all the silly dancing and make up it was very funny to look at and descent enough to laugh at .the over size moustache,the fancy hair do with high raised hair lines and hairy chests was very iconic to their fake characters because they stood out and very easily spotted , where as i'd say the audience got what they expected in the first place because originally the movie falls under the comedy category.
In this scene a very romantic mood ;the fancy restaurant in the back ground ,the romantic jazz music ,the fancy car,fancy suit ,the lighting all makes up the perfect picture for a romantic day.even though the moment seemed very romantic there was another to that scene aswell which is very awkward because fbi agent marcus copeland is disguised as the pretty young lady in the passenger seat which originally is meant to be tiffany wilson in the movie . actor terry crews is madly in love with a man who believes to be his true lover.
As you can see from the mid two of camera the face expression of the actors are different because even though they are in the same place they are in different mind frames so they're experiencing or feeling different emotions. latrel spencer(terry crews) the guy who's sitting in the driver seat has fallen deeply in his emotions because he thinks he's in love with the young lady in his passenger seat but what e doesnt realise is that the looks of his perfect girl is all fake because he's really really sitting next to an fbi agent marcus copeland(marlon wayans) who is disguised as one of the wilson sisters .while latrell is caught up in love/lust marcus copeland (girl in disguise) is deeply terrified because hes with a bigger man than him who is really horny because he doesn't he's really a man but regarding the whole situation marcus has to keep the situation under control because if it gets out of hand things could get really awkward between the two ,also the agent would blow his cover ,the case would calapse and he would be suspended from the force for pulling the stunt of diguising himself as one of the wilson sisters ,but lets see what happens in the closing scene .
As we can see in this clip ,this is where all the secrets got revealed and everyone confessed latrel is still caught up in his feelings .his love was so so strong he jumped in front of a bullet that the villain fired ,this is also where the villain got introduced because his evil dark secrets came to light .actor john heard playing as warren vandergeld (villain) was planning from the beginning to kidnap the wilson sisters for ransom because he has gone bankrupt.As time went by fbi ageats were lea closer and closer to his operation because they're disguised as the targeted twins who he plans to kidnap.
When his secret got revealed he was so embarrassed because he got exposed and everyone found out that he's not the person they thought he was .in the still image above which appears to be a mid shot of the character showed us feelings and his emotions which seemed to be humiliation and anger. His embarrassment turned into fury so he pulled a pistol to shoot the reporter who was recording him then at the undercover in disguise this is where latrel spencer (terry crews) came to the rescue and jumped in front the bullet for his so called lover /future wife.
From the still image above which is a wide shot of latrel spencer when he attempted to jump in front of the bullet for his crush.from his face expression we can tell he's very crazy and stupid because the adrenaline is rushing inside of him so he's not really conscious of whats happening hes jus focused on making sure his crush doesn't get shot.From the props and settings in this still we can tel all of this happened on a very special occasion because the lights are mildly dimmed and the tables are groomed elegantly and the costumes (suit) seemed very expensive ,people wouldn't normally dress like that on a casual day .
now this is where the final secret was revealed which interested because they had a lot of people baffled including his wife and the friends of the twins also latrel.When latrel found out that his lover was a man he was heartbroken and angry.now were all thinking he's angry because his lover is a man but he's actually not bothered about that which is weird ,the audience kind of got mislead in a way .latrel was actually mad because his lover is black not white which is very odd and unusual which is very funnybecause latrel is a black man himself .As comedy film id say the audience got what they expected to see because the movie is very funny,simple and straight forward.
