Fatherhood movie review - Aussieboyreviews
DOES FATHERHOOD HAVE A NICE LOT OF FEEL-GOOD LAUGHS AND CRIES?
This heartfelt comedy starring Kevin Hart is funny, but there’s tears as well. Although Fatherhood is best suited for older kids due to cursing, there’s great messages and it’s genuinely entertaining.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Kevin Hart delivers a touching performance in this heartfelt, teary and humorous parent tale. Fatherhood is a predictable but entertaining comedy-drama about a widowed father struggling to care for his daughter, making it unquestionable that Hart fans will definitely appreciate the comical aspect of this film.
Having Kevin Hart star as a struggling father is a nice eye-opener. He has the ability to take the dialogue and mix it with realistic emotions, in which the film wouldn’t have been that engaging or enjoyable if that weren’t the case. The acting is followed by several elements mainly including parent-child struggles, so by the end, Fatherhood successfully submits the heartfelt message to its satisfied audience.
Despite the delightful story and laughter, Fatherhood isn’t a film that necessarily stands out to other comedy-dramas or parenthood tales. Yes, it’s a little satisfactory and average, but it’s enough to keep older kids entertained.
