    Kevin Hart hit every point right

    Never thought this man could be as good an emotional actor as he is a comedian. The story is simple, beautiful and very relatable for most. Hardships faced by a young single parent to raise a child not as an infant but also as a pre-teen which can be very tough. Tough how, balancing your life all around your child to give them a healthy surrounding with no one else to rely on. You don't wanna miss your golden years but at the same time you don't want to ruin your kid's life by giving no attention.

    Hart played the role very well, according to his capacity and the demand of the story. Some greag actors are in it, often forgotten but always a delight to see. A good family-friendly movie to watch this Father's Day, cheers!
