I can't say I fit the profile for the right audience for this movie. My wife liked it more than me. Maybe it's her mother instinct, which I doubt as she has none and she's definitely not really into kids. I'm for sure not, I don't like kids, so watching a movie about raising one is just not my idea of fun. Fun, I thought it would be, because of Kevin Hart, a comedian that I can appreciate and that makes me laugh but in this case there's just not much comedy to it. Instead you get a very cliché story, the kind where you know exactly what is going to happen next and that's again not my idea of fun when watching a movie. I guess the people that scored this with the maximum ten stars (that's just crazy in my humble opinion) are the people that find it all cute, and that liked seeing Kevin Hart playing a more dramatical part. There was definitely too much drama, too much fuzz about basically nothing. I thought it was boring, certainly the second part. It's all much too cheesy to be entertaining. The movie was at least an hour too long. I was really waiting for the end to come with impatience this time.

Loved Kevin Hart in this, he played the role perfectly, using some comedy but sticking mostly to the drama and being serious. The storyline flowed well but the "all falls apart" felt forced and wasn't necessary.

Kevin Hart gets serious in Fatherhood. Sony sold the dramedy to Netflix.

Based on a true story. Maybe Lifetime or Hallmark would had been better. There is a movie of the week spin to it with dashings of mawkishness and syrupy sentimentality.

Matt is a tech engineer who ends up balancing work life and being a single parent. His wife died soon after giving birth to their baby daughter.

Matt unwisely turns down help from his mother and mother in law and raises his daughter Maddie single handedly. A life he is unprepared for, he nearly loses his job.

The film has Matt struggling to change nappies or stop the baby crying. Later the movie skips forward a few years as the older Maddie goes to a Catholic school with a strict uniform policy. Only Maddie prefers trousers to skirts.

Overlong and over sentimental. It is a lifeless, paint by numbers movie. Matt is portrayed as a saint. The comedy is non existent and it was done better in Three Men and a Baby over 30 years ago.
