Fatherhood

Fatherhood is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed by Paul Weitz from a screenplay by Weitz and Dana Stevens based on the 2011 memoir Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love by Matthew Logelin. The film stars Kevin Hart, Alfre Woodard, Frankie R. Faison, Lil Rel Howery, DeWanda Wise, Anthony Carrigan, Melody Hurd, and Paul Reiser, and follows a new father who struggles to raise his daughter after the sudden death of his wife. Originally scheduled to be released in theaters by Sony Pictures Releasing, Fatherhood was sold to Netflix during the COVID-19 pandemic and was digitally released on June 18, 2021. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with criticism for its formulaic approach but the emotional weight and Hart's against-type performance receiving praise.

But then they get real petty one day and kick you in your back 'cause you snoring while you sleep. -What? -You're sleeping on the floor. -You're all messed up. -What? -Carpet burns on your arm. -That's-- What are you-- That's enough! -It's not enough, okay? -It is enough. You don't know if you're gonna find a special someone. You're not talking about nobody but yourself-- You know he's talking about himself, right? I know.
