Kevin Hart trying to prove himself in a more dramatic film. The result is pretty much as you'd expect, the only difference with most other comedians is that Hart kept it very Hollywood instead of going the indie route. It's clear though that Hart should do best to stick to his strengths, as he isn't good enough to carry the dramatic parts.
The setup is simple, the drama rather generic, the comedy classic Hart. Weitz isn't much of a director either, so Fatherhood is little more than run-of-the-mill Hollywood bandwork. The pacing is decent and the film isn't offensively bad or boring, but I'll be surprised if I remember much of the film in two weeks time. Hollywood filler.
