Fatherhood

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.

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.

When my wife and I saw the trailer, we figured it could be really good or just alright (most trailers these days show the best parts because the movie sucks). Kevin hart was superb in this one, starting from the Gut Punch you get right off the bat, up to the ending. The trials, tribulations and doubts he goes through as a working single parent are easily identifiable by countless single parents throughout the world. This movie will make you laugh, cry and appreciate the efforts of parenting, share in the grief of loss and identify with his frustrations of self-doubt. In the end, this movie was really great. I am only giving it 8/10 because, aside from Marian and Maddie, the balance of supporting cast was just average. Definitely worthy of watching at least once!

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.

Never thought this man could be as good an emotional actor as he is a comedian. The story is simple, beautiful and very relatable for most. Hardships faced by a young single parent to raise a child not as an infant but also as a pre-teen which can be very tough. Tough how, balancing your life all around your child to give them a healthy surrounding with no one else to rely on. You don't wanna miss your golden years but at the same time you don't want to ruin your kid's life by giving no attention.

Hart played the role very well, according to his capacity and the demand of the story. Some greag actors are in it, often forgotten but always a delight to see. A good family-friendly movie to watch this Father's Day, cheers!
