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.

-What? -Yeah, that's-- I swear to God. What? Is she some kind of genius? You know what it is? Maddy just asks a lot of questions. -[Lizzie] Mmm. -I took her to this mummy show.

Um, I guess I'm kind of surprised you're still single. All those hot single moms at the kiddie park. Stop it. Stop. There's nothing hot about single parents. We are overworked, sleep-deprived, covered in baby vomit. -That's hot. -That's hot? -It's hot. [laughing] -All that is hot? -You're funny. You're very funny. -You've just been through a lot.
