Fatherhood

It’s nice to see Hart in a role where the comedy is relatively low-key and dialogue-driven (though there are a few hilarious physical bits of humor).

It’s both an effective star vehicle and a tender tearjerker.

The appeal of Fatherhood really boils down to its title, the resilience of the human spirit, and Hart being bold enough -- like his alter ego -- to think that he can do this. And like Matt, by the time it's over, he's demonstrated that he pretty well can.

Fatherhood is at its best and most watchable when it’s just Hart and Hurd onscreen. Matt and Maddy’s undeniable and reciprocated love for one another radiates from the actors, even in their broadest scenes of comedy.

Despite Weitz’s sensitive direction and a superb cast — including Frankie R. Faison as Marian’s patient husband, DeWanda Wise as Matt’s patient love interest and Paul Reiser as his patient boss — Fatherhood can’t quite deliver.

It takes a little while, but Fatherhood eventually becomes exactly what you expected. It will make no converts, nor will it push away the faithful. It’s a Kevin Hart movie, after all.

Hart comports himself with a more dialed-back version of the jittery everyman affability he’s developed over decades in the comedy circuit, a schtick that reads as just that – a pose, a well-honed affectation. There is an immense and documentable falseness at the core of his performance that drags down the salvageable movie all around it, far from the redemption arc clincher his handlers may have had in mind.

Metacritic is garbage. You'd have to have no would to give this movie a rating of less than 7. Your just a bunch of grumpy used to be hipsters giving bad foreign movies the best reviews.

The movie never balances the tone well. One moment there are some classic Kevin Hart humour, like the scene where young Maddy pukes on Matt and another guy on the plane. Another moment sees Matt and Maddy have heart to Hart (sorry) conversations. It's not really comedy-drama, more like drama, then comedy, and drama again.

Fatherhood is a simple, beautiful, and relatable movie. It's a family drama with a predictable plot but it's a cute story. It's mostly drama with comedy and emotions. Kevin Hart performed the character of a single young parent very well. We have seen him doing comedy but he just rocked the character of an emotional parent who is concerned about her daughter's life and he is trying hard to balance both his professional life and family life. I enjoyed the chemistry between father and daughter. There wasn't anything surprising in this movie. It didn't capture my attention but it was indeed a sweet story.

bad [ bad ] adjective, worse, worst;(Slang) bad·der, bad·dest for 36. not good in any manner or degree.

i shall never watch a kevin hart show again. i thought central intelligence was bad. HE IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. and when u try to ask him to do a serious drama, it's horrible. trying to be pathetic funny is excruciating. moreover the script and storyline is so dated. the new 'girl'looked so ugly and like a giant beside the minute hart. the only character worth watching is the cute daughter. but her cute smirk can only last so long. can't wait for the show to finish just to tick off our to do list in our bored lockdown existense.
