Un papa hors pair

I'd like to start by saying I never write reviews, what can I say I'm a lazy guy however this movie really touched me in a way that I didn't see coming. Kevin Hart is a man of many talents making me laugh is one of them but absolutely tearing me up is one I never knew he would do.

If you get the opportunity to watch this movie, watch it now!

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.

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.

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?"

This was a sweet and cute movie/story. It definitely brought a lot of ups and downs throughout. It really didn't capture my attention the entire time but it was good for what it is.
