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?"

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!

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.
This is unexpectedly good! The story is very real, and has no frills and no drama. It just tells the joys and challenges of parenthood, in a way that connects to viewers deeply. I am touched by it.
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!
