Summary
When wealthy hedge fund manager James King is convicted of fraud and sentenced to ten years in San Quentin, he panics and hires Darnell, the man who washes his car, to prepare him for prison life, assuming Darnell has done time. In reality, Darnell is a hardworking family man who has never been incarcerated but plays along for the cash he needs to move his family to a safer neighborhood, leading to crash-course lessons in toughness while James tries to clear his name.

The calibrated figure is built from 177 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 182 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,307 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Get Hard lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 177.
