Un papa hors pair

Mad props to Hart for showing his real acting chops, and breaking his typecasting comedic-only roles.

As far as this film goes, it really wasn't anything new or extraordinary. It was 100% predictable, and filled with every possible cliche for it's genre. Writer and director Paul Weitz left our imagination starving with his formulaic and sappy slow paced screenplay, that felt much longer than its 109 min runtime. It also felt that Weitz intentionally left out many missed opportunities for laughter, just to keep Hart in character, which made the story that much more bland.

The only thing you'll remember down the road, is that "Kevin Hart can be a serious actor, like he was in that movie.... what was it called again?"

Harts acting was great in this. He really showed off his acting skills in the more depressing parts of the film. Predictable plot but the movie is feel good and has lots of emotions.

Loved Kevin Hart in this, he played the role perfectly, using some comedy but sticking mostly to the drama and being serious. The storyline flowed well but the "all falls apart" felt forced and wasn't necessary.

The plot is predictable but it's done rather well (aside from some tonal issues), making you feel good on the inside by the end. The performances are quite good, particularly by Kevin Hart which was a nice surprise as it's something that feels different to what he normally does. Melody Hurd was quite good too. Overall, it's just a nice little heartwarming film to watch. Would recommend.

If you can't enjoy this, you must be a very sad person in life and not too funny on parties.

There is nothing absolutely new here, but the film does everything right with the right tone (which was not easy) and a very surprisingly good performance by Kevin Hart.
