The original name is get hard, literally translated as getting hard. The Chinese name is pre-prison education.
The whole story is based on a somewhat nonsensical basis. The framed executive who is about to go to jail for fraud (?) James hired Darnell, the boss of a car wash with a high salary in order to prepare for prison life. The film mainly tells about everything that happened in the 30 days before imprisonment.
The content of the training is very complicated, including physical fitness, reaction, interpersonal communication, self-help, how to provoke others, how to deal with molesting, if you survive a riot, etc., it even includes things like finding backers in advance to join the gang. .
Then Darnell had not been in jail before it was exposed, CP turned his face and James flew solo.
As a typical American comedy...the ending must be a big reversal of the verdict. Darnell helped James break away from a white gang and the two people reconciled as before, and decided to look for evidence to prove James' innocence. In the end, after a fierce struggle (in this paragraph, it seems that all the previous training items are used is quite good), the big bad guy was brought to justice.
Especially admiring Kevin Hart's performance. Darnell, who is obviously a "three-good student", has to pretend to be a rogue, and insists on pretending to be the boss of James to mess with society. When I took James to see the cousin (really gangster), I was afraid of being exposed to the real facial expressions, and the cute cry that was beaten by his wife at the beginning.
Will ferrell also showed the essence of James, serious and very intelligent.
Another stalk interspersed in the film is about racial discrimination (after all, the main actors are black and white collocations). Some lines are pretty good.
You can watch it when you are bored, a pure comedy.

Suggestion: I recommend reading the original version. Many sentences are very interesting and cannot be translated.
