Rip off of Trading Places


They had made a much better movie on a veeery similar plot 32 years ago.
And this cheap rip off is even not close to it.

So basically Get Hard ripped off Big Stan and Big Stan ripped off Trading Places. 

I really liked Get Hard and Big Stan so will definitely give Trading Places a go.

Big Stan didn't rip off Trading Places.

The story of Trading Places is about switching a bum and a millionaire, Get Hard is about a poor guy training a millionaire for prison. Yeah, that is pretty much the same story...

Ow, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

If for you there is nothing wrong with plagiarism, there is something wrong with you. Probably you lack a brain. I will also like it if someone steals money from you. Only people with no talent steal from other sucessful movies, I despise that.

Agree 100%. However the original was very clever!

Well if you are going to steal. Steal from the best.

Its that man again!!

That's exactly what my boyfriend said as soon as we started watching this. He turned away in disgust and said he'd rather watch the original and that this movie really sucked. We barely watched ten minutes of it before shutting it off. I had gotten it because he's a Kevin Hart fan (though I have no idea why. I never found him funny). How bad does a movie have to be if you won't even watch it for free? I'm kind of disgusted with the film industry these days. So lazy. All they want to do is (very badly) remake stuff I've already seen or make yet another sequel to something. Yawn. I wish I spoke another language so I could watch foreign films.
