The theme of the movie is pulling the family feeling out of you. The acting of kevin is nice as always, but there is few details the director miss to include. Kevin hair style always goood!! **where is the busy father raising his daughter**. Few moments of his wife is not enough i never felt attached to his wife dead rather then what will happen with his relationship about arguments and struggling.. overall is nice to watch, it can be boring few minutes.

There are many films about parenthood, but Fatherhood caught my attention due to the main actor and the director. Kevin Hart (Jumanji: The Next Level) is one of the most recognizable, famous faces in comedy, so seeing him bring it down to portray a more grounded character dealing with an emotionally devastating moment in life is captivating, to say the least. In addition to this, Paul Weitz, one of the directors of American Pie, is directing this Netflix flick. How can someone not feel remotely interested in watching the final result?

Fatherhood may go through the usual plot developments and character building of the genre, but Hart offers a brilliant performance as the compelling protagonist who will grab every viewer's attention. The actor proves yet again that he isn't a one-trick pony, seamlessly incorporating the complex feelings of his character. From losing the woman he loves to raising a child on his own, the accumulated emotions keep the movie worth investing in. Alfre Woodard (The Lion King) is terrific as always, but Lil Rel Howery (Judas and the Black Messiah) isn't really able to overcome the script issues when it comes to the comedic bits.

The jokes themselves are acceptable, but they're often inserted at the wrong moment. There are many scenes where a joke could have helped lighten the heavy, depressing atmosphere, but they're saved for dialogues that don't require them. Howery is usually hilarious, but in this film, his character genuinely feels a bit irritating. Despite the overlong stay, it's a movie I can see helping a lot of parents in similar situations while being entertaining and enlightening at the same time for other viewers.

Rating: B-

Fatherhood is a heartfelt drama-comedy based on Matthew Logelin’s real-life memoir, portraying his journey as a single father after losing his wife shortly after childbirth. While the film takes creative liberties—like altering family dynamics and character meetings—to heighten emotional tension, it stays true to the core story and emotional depth. Kevin Hart’s compelling performance brings humor and sincerity to the role, making the film a touching and relatable tribute to love, grief, and fatherhood.
