You can probably start officially worrying about Will Ferrell's career. After
The Campaign and
Anchorman 2 (which I actually liked), he's begun to seem less relevant and fresh as a comic star. (Never mind that
Anchorman 2 was a massive hit.) He's back with
Get Hard, where he and Kevin Hart throw Molotov cocktails at all sorts of P.C. topics. For their trouble, they've been labeled racist and homophobic. I'm not
that down on the movie, but I don't think it works. I reviewed
Get Hard for
Deadspin.
Update: On Wednesday, I was on
Studio 11 LA to discuss whether or not the film was racist. You can see my segment
here.
