nytimes.com - The comic premise of “Get Hard” could hardly be simpler. Will Ferrell is white. Kevin Hart, in contrast, is black. But you don’t have to consult a Starbucks barista to know that race is a very complicated matter. It’s been a source of humor for a very long time, but which jokes are acceptable to whom is never an easy matter to determine. Somebody is likely to be offended. The trick in a movie like this one is to appear daring while playing it safe, to act provocative while not actually provoking anyone.
