    'Fatherhood' review: Kevin Hart shows reality of being single parent
    Kevin Hart-starrer 'Fatherhood' released on Netflix today

    Raising a child is not easy, especially, if you are a single parent. Kevin Hart starrer Fatherhood takes you through the journey of a widower and his struggle to be a parent to his newborn child. The film is a roller coaster of emotions, but mostly the good ones. Directed by Paul Weitz, the heartwarming film released today on Netflix. Here's our review.

    Who said father is not enough to raise a child?

    Movie begins with the funeral of Matthew Logelin's (Hart) wife, who dies right after their child's birth. On one hand, he loses the love of his life, and on the other, he has to raise their beautiful daughter, Maddy. From his mother-in-law to friends, no one imagines he'd be a responsible father. But, mother's love is not the only emotion God has created.

    Hart impresses with his serious acting skills

    Hart is mostly famous for his comedic streak, so seeing him try serious act in Fatherhood (probably for the first time) touches your heart. One would certainly feel various emotions he exudes throughout. The loss of his wife, struggles with raising a baby like trying to give his daughter a hairdo before school and separation anxiety - he acts all his parts wonderfully.

    Little Maddy likes to wear pants, not skirts

    The highlight of this movie is the child actor, Melody Hurd. She portrays Maddy, who is not just daddy's little princess, but also, a badass. She pushes her dad to find love and doesn't hesitate to question why she has to wear skirts like other girls. Other actors like Alfre Woodard, DeWanda Wise, Anthony Carrigan and Lil Rel Howery too give remarkable performances.

    Emotional sequences slow the film down, still it gets 4/5

    When Matt says, "I'd would trade everything to spend one more day with you," the only line he could come up with at his wife's funeral, your eyes well up. In the next scene, he picks up his daughter, and from there Matt's world revolves only around her. Although these sequences slow it down in the end, Fatherhood is worth watching. Verdict: 4/5 bytes.
