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.

Ready for your first day? This is gonna be kinda tough because she's never been around anybody but me. So there's probably gonna be separation issues. But you're a big girl. Give daddy two kisses. One for me, one for Mommy. [kisses] Okay?

I tend to do both, actually. Talk in my sleep. Um, so if I do, just, you know, kind of nudge me awake, or you can probably even talk to me, actually. I'm pretty interesting when I'm sleep-talking. I believe in you.

[Maddy] Daddy! [laughs] Whoo! -I didn't know you were coming today! -Oh! I surprised you! -Oh! Guess what? -What? Look what I found. -[Maddy] You found it! -[Matt] Yes, I did. I found it and said, "I gotta get on a plane and fly all the way here to give it to you myself in person." Come here.
