Prison 101

« (...) la bêtise du scénario et la vulgarité de la mise en scène (qui mise sur l'exposition fréquente des fesses de Will Ferrell) ont tôt fait de ramener l'ensemble au niveau des plus grasses comédies américaines pour ados. »

« La chimie Ferrell-Hart fonctionne, c'est évident, mais le scénario n'apporte rien de bien neuf dans le genre ni grand-chose à aucun débat sensible, sinon que quelques blagues en bas de la ceinture et quelques répliques franchement drôles. »

« Plusieurs plaisanteries et jeux de mots assez drôles émaillent Prison 101, mais cela ne suffit pas à faire s’élever cette comédie au-dessus de la médiocrité. »

« By that point, however, lenient Get Hard patrons likely will have been entertained enough to earn a verdict of “worth one’s time.” »

« Make no mistake, Get Hard is bad, but it's probably not quite as disastrous as some of the more outraged reviews out of SXSW are having you believe. »

« But Get Hard premiered two hours ago, and it already seems more dated than Trading Places — not to mention less savvy about all the subjects it pretends to be addressing while it tries to make us laugh. »

« It's not easy hanging talents like Ferrell and Hart out to dry. But Get Hard gets the job done. It's one limp noodle. »

« 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. »

« Instead, they squandered what should have been an electric collaboration on a movie that’s more tone-deaf than madcap. »

« But such moments are oases in a tedious whole, and none of them can dispel the feeling that "Get Hard" is trying to put one over on its audience and getting away with it. »
