TRAILER

FATHERHOOD starring Kevin Hart | Official Trailer | Netflix https://youtube.com/Netflix A widowed new dad copes with doubts, fears, heartache and dirty diapers as he sets out to raise his daughter on his own. Inspired by a true story.

Three notable things about Netflix movie Fatherhood: It’s likely the most substantial and dynamic role for serial funnyguy Kevin Hart, a serious step away from the Ride Along and Jumanji films and his sitcom Die Hart. It’s directed by Paul Weitz, whose career launched with American Pie but subsequently found his footing in well-balanced comedies like About a Boy and Grandma (and we’ll make that assertion while stepping around Little Fockers). And finally, yes, this is a BOATS (Based On A True Story) movie, adapting Matt Logelin’s nonfiction story of single fatherhood, Two Kisses for Maddie: A Memoir of Love and Loss. Now let’s see if these elements come together in a functionable, enjoyable manner.

FATHERHOOD: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

The Gist: Matt (Hart) stands in front of a gathering in a church. They’re mourniers. He can’t seem to find the right words. “This sucks,” he says. Flashback: Matt and Liz (Deborah Ayorinde) sit in the doctor’s office. She needs a C-section — tonight. It’s early, but it can’t wait. The procedure goes well, and little Maddie is born. Liz’s parents, Marian (Alfre Woodard) and Mike (Frankie Faison), arrive to meet their granddaughter. Barely a day after the birth, Liz gets out of bed, but quickly collapses. She struggles to breathe. Matt is pushed out of the room by an orderly, and he never sees his wife alive again. Pulmonary embolism. Yes, this sucks.

After the funeral, many people, especially the mother-in-law, question Matt’s ability to raise a daughter by himself. “Extremely immature” is Marian’s personality assessment. She invites herself to stay with him and Maddie for six months, but he refuses. Well then, he should move away from his good job and good friends and go back to Minnesota, where both his and Liz’s families live. Nope. Not gonna do that either. He draws on his best buds Jordan (Lil Rel Howery) and Oscar (Anthony Carrigan) for support. Jordan goes with him to the baby store and helps him put together the crib, which is a struggle. They volley one-liners back and forth as Maddie parks in her bouncer, her head going back and forth like she’s watching Venus vs. Serena.

This ain’t easy, but Matt works through the sleepless nights and endless diapers, putting a basketball hoop above the diaper pail and putting down some threes until one splatters poo all over the backboard. He brings Maddie to work, where his kind boss (Paul Reiser) amazingly tolerates the interruption of client presentations to deal with the colicky baby. As expected, there are montages in this existence: Matt delivers punchlines when stupid people ask him where the baby’s mom is, e.g., training with NASA to be an astronaut, doing hard time, etc.; mishaps occur, like when he leaves the baby carrier, baby still in it, outside the supermarket; he fights that (expletive deleted) car seat into the car as Oscar and Jordan offer their assistance.

FIVE YEARS PASS. Maddie (Melody Hurd) is now an adorable post-toddler. There will be school. There will be blood on the playground. There will be a Kevin Hart mini-standup bit during a parent support group. There will be clashes with the mother-in-law. There will be a love interest, coincidentally also named Liz (DeWanda Wise). There will be ups and downs. There will be barf. This is fatherhood, after all.
