Director : Etan Coen
Running Time : 107 mins
When rich idiot hedge fund manager James King (Ferrell) is framed for embezzlement and sentenced to prison time, he employs the help of the guy who washes his car, Darnell Lewis (Hart), to help him cope with life in jail, something King assumes Lewis knows all about. The first problem – Darnell has never been in prison! The second problem – the people who framed King think he is performing his own investigation and want him out of the way...
Some of the comedy in this movie is so broad it feels quite old fashioned. With such comic moments as bums on windows and people falling over and getting beaten up, this could have been an X rated Stooges movie! Ferrell is a little too over the top for my liking, and Kevin Hart’s straight man who just wants to get paid feels a little odd when we are introduced to his criminal cousin who lives in a completely different world to him. This is fun, and there is a semblance of a plot, but the majority of this movie deals with the silliness between Hart and Ferrell, which does sometimes get in the way of the storyline.
