Introduction to Kevin Hart’s Netflix Fatherhood Movie Review

 

You may know Kevin Hart for being a comedian instead of a serious actor.  Moreover, you may know him from his many “cancellations” due to some of his twitter remarks which caused him to be ousted from hosting the Oscars, as well as the publicity around him cheating on his wife. 

 

Regardless of how you may know of Kevin Hart, just remember that he is still in the money and continues to make movies. Kevin Hart usually acts or performs in comedy movies, but as he stated on a talk show recently, he wants you to see that he can act in serious movies.  Did he do well or did he fail in the movie Fatherhood? Check out my movie review to find out.

 

 

Plot of Kevin Hart's Netflix Fatherhood Movie

 

The "mother is not here so father must do it all” plot  has been told many times before. In the movie Fatherhood, Kevin Hart stars as a father left to raise his child alone due to an unfortunate incident that happened to the mother. To make a long story short, Kevin Hart as the father, is sometimes ridiculed and made fun of as he attempts to perform his fatherly responsibilities.

 

Unrealism in Kevin Hart’s Netflix Fatherhood Movie

 

As to be expected, there are infant actors in Kevn Hart’s Fatherhood movie. If you watch this movie, do not be surprised when you notice that there are several different babies playing this role who look totally different from each other. 

 

Also do not be fazed if you see where the baby is a lot older in one scene when compared to another one. It was annoying to me to see that the casting staff did not do a good job of following the scenes and having the proper infant to play in them.

 

Another unrealistic part of this movie was how easily Kevin Hart’s newly separated girlfriend returned to him -- even though he had blatantly dismissed her as a partner earlier in the movie -- through no fault of her own.  In real life, I think he would have left her and met someone else.

 

When you watch Kevin Hart act in the movie Fatherhood, you are probably waiting for him to say something to make you laugh.  I felt the same way when I watched the Fatherhood movie even though I knew he was playing a serious role.  In fact, the most realistic part of the movie was the few times when Kevin Hart broke from his “serious” acting and cracked a few jokes.

 

Regarding the duties he did as a father as shown in the movie -- I think he should be doing these anyway -- even if his wife was there --- regardless of the circumstances. 

 

Recommendation for Kevin Hart’s Netflix Fatherhood Movie

 

Rather than have a Fatherhood movie based on the serious as well as sad events in this movie -- with Kevin Hart as the main actor, the storyline should have been different.  The movie could have “copied” the synopsis of the movie 3 Men and a Baby which was hugely successful, mainly because even though it was a comedy, there were some realistic funny scenes in the movie.

 

 

Assessment of Kevin Hart’s Netflix Fatherhood Movie

 

In my opinion, this movie dragged on. In fact at one point I checked to see how much footage was left to be viewed in the movie before it ended.  Let’s just say that if the movie was interesting to me, I would not have done this.  

 

Kevin Hart as a serious actor in the movie Fatherhood was not believable for me. It was hilarious when on his crying scenes, I could tell that maybe he had just finished peeling an onion to cry -- instead of from the result of what was happening in the movie.

 

My advice to the comedian Kevin Hart  regarding his “serious” role in the movie Fatherhood is -- Do not quit your day job.
