This was a typical Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart since both they characters are what you usually would expect from both of them. I found that sometimes there was unnecessary use of racist jokes but sometimes the whole idea of the movie was based on those prejudices and stereotypical jokes. The movie had a good plot and story line. The only thing that I found a bit off putting was how easy they recognised that Martin was the bad guy and how easy they won the confrontation with him. However, since the whole idea was the relationship between Darnell and James, I think its a good idea that they did not focus on the fight with the villain and as much as they did in preparing James for prison. So well done on that front.

Real-life lessons: Not much reflection about real-life can be done after this movie but this is quite understandable since the movie never aimed that in the fist place. Maybe the only thing is to realise how sometimes people are so narrow minded and actually do create beliefs about a person based on stereotypes. This movie is a good reminder why we should not do that.

Character analysis: James and Darnell are both well developed characters and very well brought to life by Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell.
