MOVIE REVIEW - FATHERHOOD: TO WATCH, OR NOT TO WATCH? (FATHER'S DAY EDITION)
FIRST OFF, WE WANT TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO WISH ALL OF OUR CLUB MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS A HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
WELCOME TO OUR FATHER’S DAY EDITION OF MOVIE REVIEWS, WHERE THERE ARE NO CONS TO THESE FILMS (WE’RE FEELING A BIT GENEROUS).
WHEN THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY POSITIVE CREATED WITH A POSITIVE MESSAGE, WE FIGURE, WHY FIND ANY KIND OF FAULT IN IT, RIGHT?
WE REALLY LOVE KEVIN HART OVER HERE AT THE CLUB, AND WE ARE LOVING THE DIFFERENT RANGES THAT HE’S TAPPING INTO. HIS DRAMATIC ROLES ARE JUST AS GOOD AS HIS COMEDIC ROLES, AND NO MATTER THE ROLE, HE’S STILL ABLE TO KEEP THAT FUNNY KEVIN HART STYLE THAT WE ALL LOVE IN HIS CHARACTERS THAT HE PLAYS. AT TIMES, IT DOES FEEL LIKE WE’RE JUST WATCHING A DIFFERENT VERSION OF KEVIN IN ALL OF THE ROLES THAT HE PLAYS, AS IF THEY WERE ALL A PART OF THIS “HART-VERSE” IN DIFFERENT TIMELINES. WE HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT IF THIS IS A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING AS OF YET, BUT WE KNOW WE LOVE HIM AND EVERYTHING THAT HE DOES!

EVEN THROUGH TRAUMAS, DRAMAS, CHALLENGES AND REAL LIFE HARDSHIPS, YOU CAN FIND THE FUNNY IN ALL OF IT IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SMILE THROUGH ALL OF IT ….THAT’S WHAT LIFE IS REALLY LIKE, AND THE FILM ORGANICALLY MIRRORS THAT.
THERE ARE SOME OVERLY DRAMATIC MOMENTS THAT JUST DIDN’T MAKE SENSE TO US, AND IN MOMENTS THAT WE FELT REQUIRED SOME REAL IN-DEPTH, METHODICAL / DRAMATIC ACTING AND REACTING, THE FILM FELL SHORT. I’S A BIT EASY TO POINT OUT WHAT WOULD BE REALISTIC VS. WHAT WOULDN’T BE IN THE FILM IN COMPARISON TO REAL LIFE…BUT HEY!…. IT’S A MOVIE.
YOU REALLY GET TO SEE THE GROWTH BETWEEN DAUGHTER AND FATHER, BUT WE WISH THAT THE FILM SHOWED US THE FUTURE OF WHAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP WOULD LOOK LIKE AS THEY’VE MATURED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLES AS FATHER AND DAUGHTER IN EACH OTHERS’ LIVES.
AFTER WATCHING THE FILM, HAVE A READ OF THE MEMOIR OF THE REAL LIFE SINGLE PARENT AND DAUGHTER THAT KEVIN’S CHARACTER AND THE FILM IS BASED ON.
FATHERHOOD IS A GREAT WATCH! SO ENJOY, AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THE FILM IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW!
PROS:
SINGLE FATHERS AND PARENTS WILL BE EVEN MORE INSPIRED AND HOPEFUL AFTER WATCHING
FAMILY FRIENDLY, BUT STILL HAS MATURE THEMES
PERFECT FATHER’S DAY FILM
IT’S KEVIN HART!!!!
In conclusion…
WATCH
