Fatherhood – the newest movie by Kevin Hart that can have you crying one minute, and in hysterics the next. It is the perfect family friendly movie for any occasion; it is new, poignant, and tackles many issues that make it an altogether brilliant watch.
Set in Boston , USA, we follow young man Matthew Logalin, who is preparing for a baby girl with his wife Liz. However, after Liz’s unexpected death, Matthew has to raise his daughter Maddy alone, as he balances work, home and grief.
In my opinion, I LOVED this film, as I felt it offered a fresh perspective on what is a “well used” storyline. Not only this, but I felt that it showcased a lot of modern day issues, such as black stereotypes and raising a child alone. What’s more, there was lots of comedic scenes, which contrasted well with the sad context to help keep the viewer interested.
Kevin Hart’s performance was also refreshing – I felt it differed nicely to his other more comedic roles in iconic films such as Central Intelligence (2017) and Jumanji (2019). Instead, ‘FatherHood’ allowed the audience to see a brand new side to Hart, and showcased a more emotional and sentimental side to his already broad acting skills.
One of my favourite scenes of the movie was when Matt makes the difficult decision to leave Maddy with her grandparents, in the hope of giving her a better life. I particularly loved this scene as it not only portrays the unbelievable strength of single parents, but it also shows Matt at his most vulnerable, which allows for a truly tear jerking moment.
What makes this film even more unique is that it is actually based on a true story. The movie is an adaptation of American writer Matt Logelin’s bestselling memoir: Two Kisses for Maddy, which also features the extreme lows and highs of a single dad navigating love, loss and parenthood.
But what do audiences think about this film? With 4.5 out of 5 stars on Google reviews, the public is certainly not shy about their love for the motion picture. One viewer described it as “absolute joy from start to finish” , with another stating that they “could relate to Kevin Hart’s character”.
Overall, I 100% recommend this film for anyone who wants a heart-warming and comedic watch. This family friendly film is full to the brim with emotion, fun and laughter, and is sure to leave anyone who watches it with a big smile on their face.
